Tips
Make sure the red Thai curry paste is vegan-friendly and contains no fish or shellfish ingredients.
If Thai lime leaves are unavailable, use thin large slices of organic lime peel, simmer for 5-10 minutes with the curry, then discard.
If not using super firm tofu, press it first to remove excess liquid.
