Green curry is a classic Thai dish that is typically made with chicken or beef. However, this recipe uses tofu as a plant-based protein source. Tofu is a great choice for this dish because it absorbs the flavors of the curry well and it's a good source of protein. This recipe is also made with a variety of vegetables, including carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper. These vegetables add sweetness, crunch, and color to the dish. The curry is finished with a squeeze of lime juice, which adds a bit of acidity and brightness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
