This is the kind of bowl that looks and tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. Creamy coconut milk, fragrant green curry paste, golden pan-fried tofu, and sweet potatoes all come together in one pot in under 30 minutes for something that’s warming, satisfying, and genuinely crave-worthy. A handful of cilantro, golden raisins, and a tiny splash of fish sauce at the end might sound unexpected — but trust the process, because it takes the whole thing over the top. Serve it over a scoop of white rice and dinner is done.
Press the tofu with paper towels to remove water. Cut tofu into cubes. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt, and pan fry for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Start cooking your rice according to package directions.
Add sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and curry paste to the soup pot. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Add broccoli and tofu. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green
Optional: Finishing it off with a handful of golden raisins and cilantro, a quick swish of fish sauce, and a sprinkle of brown sugar will take this over the top.
Serve on plates or bowls with cooked white rice.
