Tofu with Red Curry Paste, Peas, and Yellow Tomatoes

This smelled so good while it was cooking and tasted even better. It was especially tasty over jasmine rice.

1 (14-ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced onion
1 cup light coconut milk
1 to 2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 cup shelled green peas (about 1 pound unshelled) or frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup chopped yellow tomato
4 cups hot cooked long-grain rice


Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu; cook until liquid from tofu is evaporated (about 3 minutes). Remove tofu from pan; sprinkle with lime juice, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Add tofu, and cook 7 minutes or until golden. Combine milk and curry paste; add to pan. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes. Add peas and tomato; cook 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
