Recipe: Thai Tofu and Vegetable Curry

Hi Everyone,

Here is a great summer curry dish that is surprisingly light. You can change up the type of vegetables in here that you use to whatever you like. I did mine with pasta but any kind of grain would work, like rice noodles, brown rice or quinoa. Play around with the spices and see what you like. Enjoy!
