"I'm not a vegetarian, but I do enjoy tofu and will always order it in a restaurant if it's an option (which unfortunately only happens when I'm visiting family "in the big city"!). I think I'm finally brave enough to start cooking it at home, and this recipe from Cooking Light has got me salivating :)"

This is really good. I made the curry paste from Recipe #39109, and used a LOT more than 1 teaspoon since the homemade curry paste is not as strong as the store bought. I used broccoli instead of the cabbage; might've taken a little longer to cook, but I think the recipe is flexible on this point because this curry sauce would be good on many different vegetables.
