Coconut Curry Tofu with Ginger, Garlic and Cilantro

Let it be known that our entire floor smelled like curry after this meal.
Our goal tonight was girl time! We had our new friend Jil {,she's great,} over to the apartment and we all prepared the meal together.

The ingredients we used were as follows: tofu, garlic, cinnamon, coconut oil, freshly cut ginger, cilantro, green onions, red peppers and chick peas. 

This was our first attempt at tofu and it came out quite well thanks to Catie, our resident vegan! :)

Preparation:

1. Wash all the ingredients, mincing the garlic, and slicing the ginger.

2. Create your own curry sauce with coconut oil, cocnut milk, curry, and ginger. {This sauce is then placed over the tofu.}

Cooking:

3. We combined tofu, coconut oil, garlic,  and curry powder in a frying pan for about 10 minutes, or until the outside is crisp. Stir occasionally. The longer you leave the tofu on the burner, the firmer it will get.

4. In a separate pan, combine chick peas, spinach, red peppers, cilantro, and green onions and leave on for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

5. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tofu and enjoy!

Total Cost: $8.00

Picnics are almost as fun as forts. Truth.

Another wonderful meal.
