Equipment

  • 1 large pot or skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium yellow potato (~ 1 cup) washed and diced
  • ½ cup frozen green peas
  • 11 oz Thai Style Yellow Curry Sauce from Trader Joe's
  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth* (use vegetable broth for the most flavor)
  • 1 block extra firm tofu pressed for at least 20 minutes

Optional Sides & Toppings

  • basmati rice
  • toasted naan bread
  • chopped cilantro or thai basil for topping
  • chopped peanuts for topping
  • fresh lime for topping

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or pot, heat your oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Add in your diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add in your diced carrots and potatoes. Sauté for a few minutes.
  • Pour in your Thai Style Yellow Curry sauce and vegetable broth. Mix well. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are fully cooked.
  • Add in your tofu cubes and green peas. Mix well.
  • Serve your curry with basmati rice and/or naan. Top with cilantro, thai basil, fresh lime or peanuts.

Notes

⭐️I recommend adding 1 cup of vegetable broth to the yellow curry sauce so help thin it out slightly and give you more curry broth to your dish. 
Other tips:
    • This Thai yellow curry is easily customizable with other veggies you have. Try bok choy, cauliflower, spinach, kale, sweet potato, and more!
    • Thai basil has a bold flavor compared to regular basil described as a little spiciness, sweetness, and hints of licorice and anise. I love the flavor of this mixed into my curry.
    • This curry freezes great! You can double the batch and store leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months. Keep other leftovers in the fridge for 4 days. 
 
*As stated in the above post, the Trader Joe's Thai Yellow Curry Sauce is NOT vegan and contains small amounts of milk. This recipe is vegetarian friendly.
