Yellow Curried Tofu

A bottle of Trader Joe's Thai Yellow Curry Sauce has been sitting in my cupboard for the past couple of months, desperately seeking my attention each time I open the door. Today it literally jumped into my hand. So what could I do but cook up some brown rice, saute some tofu and toss in some steamed veggies for a super-easy dinner?!

Thai Tofu Yellow Curry

1 package firm tofu, drained and cut into cubes

1 package mixed Italian vegetables (carrots, beans, broccoli, etc)

1 bottle Trader Joe's Thai Yellow Curry Sauce

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

2 cups long grain brown rice

6 cups water

2 cups vegetable broth

2 Tbsp favorite cooking oil

Lightly brown the rice in 1 Tbsp oil. Add water and broth, bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 minutes until tender. Saute tofu cubes in 1 Tbsp oil, sprinkling with turmeric, garlic powder and cumin. Cook until golden brown on all sides. Add mixed vegetables and cook until tender-crisp. Stir in sauce until well coated and simmer 2-3 minutes to reach desired consistency. Serve over rice.
