  • 1 unit Red bell pepper, seeded, in strips
  • 100 g Snap peas (or French green beans)
  • 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon (or lime) juice
  • 2 cloves Alho, picado
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (medium heat). Prepare all the ingredients, cutting the vegetables and tofu as indicated in the list. This initial step is crucial for the organization and efficiency of the cooking process.

2

In a large baking sheet (approximately 30x20cm), add the vegetable oil, the minced garlic, and the grated ginger. Mix the aromatics well so the oil absorbs their flavors. This creates an aromatic base for the curry.

3

Add the curry paste and mix for about 1 minute, stirring vigorously, to release its intense aromas. This step is essential to enhance the flavor profile of the curry paste and make it more vibrant in the dish.

4

Add the coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the baking sheet. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust the salt or sweetness, if necessary.

5

Add the cubed tofu, broccoli florets, carrot rounds, pepper strips, and snow peas. Gently mix all the ingredients so they are well coated in the creamy sauce. Keep the vegetables well distributed.

6

Break the rice noodles (if they are too long) and distribute them evenly over the vegetables and tofu. Make sure the pasta is as submerged as possible in the sauce, gently pushing it down, ensuring proper cooking.

7

Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Aluminum foil creates a steam environment that helps the pasta cook without drying out and the vegetables to become soft.

8

Remove the aluminum foil carefully. Stir the contents of the baking dish to ensure the pasta cooks evenly and all ingredients are well coated with the sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, add another 50ml of broth or water.

9

Return the baking sheet to the oven (without the aluminum foil) for another 15 minutes, or until the pasta is soft and the sauce has thickened slightly. The time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the type of rice noodles.

10

Remove from the oven, add the lime juice, and mix well. The citrusy touch of lemon enhances all the flavors, bringing freshness and balance to the dish. Taste and adjust the final seasonings if needed.

11

Serve immediately, finishing each portion with fresh chopped cilantro, crunchy roasted peanuts, and a lime wedge. The contrast of textures and fresh flavors elevates the experience of this roasted curry dish.

Chef Tips

- Press the tofu block between paper towels with a weight for 15 minutes to remove excess water before cutting. - Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil for the first 25 minutes so that the steam cooks the rice dough evenly. - Remove the topping in the last 10 minutes so the coconut milk thickens and the vegetables get golden edges.

Variations

- Substitute red curry paste with green or yellow curry paste to change the spiciness level. - Add sliced fresh shiitake or shimeji mushrooms along with the broccoli to reinforce earthy notes. - Add fresh torn Thai basil leaves over the dish instead of traditional cilantro.

Substitutions

- The rice vermicelli noodles can be substituted with thin rice sticks or wide rice noodles for broken pad thai. - The firm tofu can be replaced with chicken breast cut into thin strips or cleaned shrimp added at the end. - Traditional full-fat coconut milk can be swapped for light coconut milk reducing the vegetable broth by half.

How to Store

Store the remaining portions in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a pan with a splash of water or coconut milk to return the fluidity to the sauce absorbed by the pasta.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing this dish is not recommended because the thin rice noodles lose their texture and become brittle after defrosting. Broccoli and snow peas also release excess water, softening the preparation.

What to Serve With

Serve with extra lemon wedges for squeezing at the table and sriracha sauce on the side. A cup of jasmine tea or craft light beer with citrus notes accompanies with elegance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the rice noodle need to be soaked before going into the oven?

It is not necessary to hydrate the vermicelli; it cooks directly in the hot coconut milk inside the baking dish.

Is the dish very spicy with red curry?

Thai red curry paste has medium spiciness; adjust the intensity using one to two tablespoons.

How to prevent the pasta from sticking into one block?

Spread the dough strands between the vegetables and ensure the coconut milk liquid covers the ingredients.

Can I use other vegetables I have in the fridge?

Yes, zucchini, baby corn, sliced cabbage, and mushrooms adapt perfectly to the oven time.
