Wanna go for a big nut ? Let's make COCONUT SOUP with TOFU then.

COCONUT SOUP with TOFU.
(for 2 pers., preparation: + - 30 min)

You need:

- 4 dl. coconut milk

- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 1 tbsp. red curry paste (from jar)
- 1 lime
- 1 stock cube
- 1 block tofu
- 2 shallots
- Groundnut oil
- A handful of fresh basil

– 6 dl. water

Preparation: 

Cut the tofu into cubes of 1 cm. and pat dry with paper towels. Wash the lemon, grate the zest, then cut the lemon in half and press it out. Cut the shallots into thin rings. Heat the groundnut oil in the wok and bake the tofu cubes brown in + - 3 min. Let the fried cubes drain on kitchen paper. Again put a little groundnut oil in the wok and bake the curry paste for + - 1 min., crumble the stock cube in there. Add the coconut milk and 6 dl. of water. Bring gently to the boil, keep stirring. Halve the lemongrass and add that together with the zest and juice of the lime to the soup. Let stew some further for + - 15 min. over a gentle heat. Cut the basil leaves into strips. Remove the lemongrass out of the soup (it's tough but it gives a good taste!). Divide the baked tofu cubes and shallots over the soup bowls, pour the hot coconut soup over it and garnish with basil strips.

Eat them,
