Green Thai Curry with smoked Tofu (Vegan)
The green curry is one of the basic currys in Thailand and can be found all over the country. It is traditionally cooked with fresh veggies next to chicken, beef or fish. In our version the green curry is 100 % vegan without any loss of flavor. We use crispy smoked tofu instead of meat and we replaced the fish sauce with soysauce. In less than 30 minutes you get a super yummy Thai dish on your plate.
