• 1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1-inch florets

• 1 carrot, chopped

• 100g/3½oz mushrooms, chopped

• 200g/8 oz green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

• a handful of Thai basil leaves

• 1½ tsp freshly squeezed lime juice

• Steamed white rice or brown rice, for serving.

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, and add the tofu. Fry until golden, then remove from the pan and set aside.

2. Next add the onion to the same pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about six minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.

3. Add the curry paste, stirring to coat the onions, and cook until fragrant, about one minute.

4. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce and stir in. Bring to a simmer.

5. Next add the cauliflower, carrot, mushrooms, and green beans and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is just tender, about eight to 10 minutes.

6. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil leaves and lime juice. Taste and season with more salt as needed.

7. Add the crispy tofu back to the curry, and transfer to a serving dish.

8. Serve with steamed rice.
