Tofu Curry

Sometimes out of simplicity, I make dishes that are “semi-homemade”. Which means, part of the ingredients are bought from the store. In this recipe, I used a basic Thai spicy curry sauce I picked up from Trader Joe’s  to make the base of the sauce. I thinned it down with some water and let it simmer over the stove with vegetables and tofu. You can easily substitute the tofu for some diced chicken breast or mix and match the vegetables. This is a quick and healthy meal when you are in a time crunch. Make a couple extra servings for a quick re-heat the next day. You can also change up the recipe, and serve it over whole wheat noodles instead of brown rice.
