Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
  • 1 block tofu extra firm
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 yellow pepper diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ tablespoon curry
  • 1 mango peeled and cut into cubes
  • 6 ounces coconut milk
  • ½ cup sea beans rinsed
  • 1 garlic scape diced
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon green curry paste
  • 2 thai chili peppers chopped
  • 2 blocks instant whole grain rice vermicelli
  • fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  • Drain & press the tofu for about 10 minutes to remove any excess moisture. Cut tofu ½ in thick slices  and then cut into bite size cubes.
  • Prep all the ingredients. *After cutting mango into cubes, squeeze out any extra juice from the remaining flesh around the pit. Set aside.
  • On medium flame, heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan. Gently place tofu in pan and cook until the individual pieces begin to turn light brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Add shallots and cook for 5 minutes. Add yellow pepper, garlic and curry. Stir to combine.
  • Gently stir in mango and mango juice. Pour in coconut milk. Add in garlic scape, ginger, green curry paste, thai chili peppers heat thoroughly.
  • While flavors are blending, heat water for the vermicelli. Cook 2 blocks, according to directions.
  • After tasting, season the mango thai-fu with salt & pepper. *see notes
  • Serve in individual bowls layered over the vermicelli. Top with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Sea beans are very salty so be sure to rinse them well and do not add additional salt to the dish unless you feel you need to after tasting it.
  • I decided to add vermicelli to this dish but it's also great without!
