    My vegetarian daughter-in-law gave me her recipe for a creamy and spicy vegetable and tofu curry. It's great.

    This was actually really delicious! I added red capsicum and didn't include the basil. Very light and fresh, I'm sure this would be even better the next day, but there wasn't any left!  -  17 Aug 2015

    I let the water drain out of the extra firm tofu for a half hour (placing a cutting board on top with a little bit of weight added), then cut the tofu in strips and froze them. The next day I poured boiling water over the frozen tofu for a quick thaw. I sauted the tofu in some olive oil to further firm it up, then proceeded w/the recipe. This really improved the texture of the tofu as the first time I made the recipe I found the tofu to be kind of mushy and soft. The flavors here are great, even better the next day as left overs. Next time i make it I'll increase the sauce quantity because when serving over rice there's just not enough to keep everyone happy!  -  12 Apr 2003  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

    This was a fast, easy and nutritious meal. The bok choy at the grocery looked awful, so I substituted a bag of fresh spinach at the last few minutes of cooking and served with couscous instead of rice for a change. My whole family loved it. Husband took the leftovers for lunch the next day, flavors were even better,even over rice leftover from the day before. Will do this often  -  21 Jan 2003  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
