Do you own an air fryer? If you do, it will make this Green Curry with Air-fried Tofu so quick, you’ll be happy to meal prep it on the regular. No jokes, air frying tofu for 10 minutes at 200°C will turn it crispy and golden. Perfect to add to curries and stews. It would take at least double the amount of time to achieve a similar result in a regular oven. You gotta love a good time-saving kitchen appliance!

While on the time-saving topic, another kitchen appliance I can’t live without is a pressure cooker. For this recipe, I use it to cook jasmine rice to perfection in just six minutes. I generally use it to cook most grains and dry beans! It’s the best!

Once the tofu and rice are covered, all that is left to do to finish preparing this recipe is adding coconut milk and green curry paste to a saucepan, bringing it to a boil, whisking, and simmering it with broccoli florets until the broccoli is tender. Done.
