Asparagus and Bean Curd with Thai Red Curry.
This is another recipe that is about the method and not necessarily the ingredients. What I mean is that this is a really basic recipe where the ingredients can be changed to your liking while using the same seasoning (or similar seasonings) but using the same simple stir-fry method to prepare them. Anyhow, this is really easy to make and super delicious.

Asparagus and Bean Curd with Thai Curry
Makes 4 servings
1 package extra firm tofu, drained
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra to oil a pan
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons red Thai curry
¼ chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
12 leaves fresh basil, course chopped
Preheat an oven to 400F. Dice the tofu and spread it onto a lightly
oiled baking sheet. Bake the tofu for about 30 minutes, turning it
every ten minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the tofu from the
oven and set aside. Heat the 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a heavy
skillet over medium-high heat, then add the sliced onion and bell
pepper; stir-fry for a couple minutes, then add the garlic and cook a
couple minutes longer. Add the asparagus, cook for a minute or two,
then add the red curry, mixing it with the vegetables. Add the cooked
tofu to the pan, along with the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring
to a boil, tossing all the ingredients together, then stir in the
basil and remove from the heat.
