- 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Thai Red Curry Kit
- 1-11/2 tbsp veg oil
- 130g flat rice noodles, cooked as per packet instructions
- 100g firm tofu, cubed - or use tofu puffs (these don’t need frying just halve and add with the coconut milk)

- 100g broccoli, cut into small florets
- 80g bean sprouts
- 1 rounded tbsp. palm sugar, or to taste - or substitute with your preferred sweetener

- 2-3 tbsp. peanuts, roughly chopped or pounded
Optional Garnish - Sliced red chillies, chopped peanuts, lime wedges, fresh coriander
- Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan and carefully fry the tofu until golden on all sides. Set aside. Heat the remaining oil, add the dried red chilli from the small sachet in the curry kit and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli and continue to fry for 2 minutes, adding splashes of water to steam-fry until the broccoli is just cooked.
- Add the red curry paste, coconut milk and aromatics from the kit, along with the sugar and tamarind and stir well. Add the noodles, bean sprouts, tofu and spring onions, coat well in the sauce and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add water if it is too dry. It should be of a coating consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, tamarind and sugar to taste. Serve garnished with sliced red chillies, chopped peanuts, coriander and a lime wedge, if you like.
