Ingredients
- 8 ounces extra-firm tofu drained
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons curry powder divided
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 14.5-ounce can low-sodium chopped tomatoes drained
- 1 1/4 cups frozen peas
- 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Cut tofu horizontally into two ¾-inch-thick slabs. Press each slab between towels to remove moisture. Sprinkle salt on top and bottom of each slab, then rub in 1 teaspoon curry powder. Cut tofu into ¾-inch chunks.
- Pour almonds into a wide skillet over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until almonds are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour out onto a plate. Turn heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon oil and tofu. Carefully turning tofu with a spatula, cook until pale golden, 5 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Cover to keep warm.
- Add remaining ½ tablespoon oil to pan, followed by garlic and ginger. Lightly brown garlic, then add tomatoes and remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder. Stir and cook 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes lose most of their moisture. Stir in peas, cover, and cook until peas are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water if pan becomes dry.
- Scatter tofu over tomato-pea mixture, cover, and heat through, about 2 minutes. Carefully stir in cilantro. Garnish with almonds and serve.
