4 SERVINGS. READY IN 30 MINUTES.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 2 medium cloves garlic, grated

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms

  • 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 6 cups chopped kale

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages zucchini noodles

Preparation

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat tofu dry and add to pan. Cook in a single layer, without stirring, until the pieces turn golden, about 4 minutes. Gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk coconut milk, curry paste, lime juice, garlic and salt in a small bowl.

  3. Add avocado oil, mushrooms and scallions to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown, about 5 minutes. Add kale, the sauce mixture and the tofu and cook, stirring, until the kale is wilted, the sauce has thickened and the tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Add zucchini noodles to the pan and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve the curry over the noodles.
