Curried Yam, Tofu & Broccoli

June 28, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Curried Yam, Tofu & Broccoli -- Epicurean VeganWe received our box of fruits and vegetables from Green Buffalo today and I was thrilled with the contents. I ended up using several ingredients from today’s delivery: the Napa cabbage, broccoli, one yam, and one of the two bunches of cilantro

I served this over the steamed Napa cabbage, which I recommend trying, or you can serve it over rice.

INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbs curry powder
2 Tbs fresh ginger, minced
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium yam, diced (about 1-3/4 C)
1 12-oz pkg. extra firm tofu, drained and pressed and cut into small rectangles
1 can light coconut milk
1-1/2 C vegetable broth
1 head of broccoli florets
1 C fresh cilantro, chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1 Napa cabbage, torn
1/2 C peanuts

DIRECTIONS:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, curry powder, ginger, and garlic. Cook a few minutes, or until it forms a paste. Add the yam and cook over low to medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the they begin to soften.

If the sauce doesn’t thicken within 10 minutes, combine 2 tablespoons of arrowroot and about 1 tablespoon of water and then stir it into the mixture. It ought to thicken up in minutes. Add the broccoli, reduce the heat to low and cover for 5-10 minutes.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
