Green curry is a popular Thai dish that is typically made with chicken, beef, or seafood. However, this recipe uses tofu as the protein source, making it a great option for vegetarians and vegans. I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that was also healthy and flavorful. I experimented with different combinations of vegetables and tofu, and eventually settled on this recipe as my favorite.
