The flavors meld together with a hint of lime for a soothing blend of sweet and savory, and then everything’s spooned over buttery jasmine rice and sprinkled with fresh cilantro. Dinnertime stressin’ you out? No worries with curry!

Instructions
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Swap in brown rice for jasmine rice; use 1¾ cups water (3½ cups for 4) and a pinch of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes. (Save jasmine rice for another use.)
• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ¾-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lime (for 4 servings, zest one lime and quarter both). Finely chop cilantro.
• Open and drain tofu; press out excess water with paper towels. Halve crosswise, then stand tofu upright and halve vertically. Lay flat and cut into ¾-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned on bottom, 2-3 minutes.
• Add bell pepper and a pinch of salt to pan with tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is softened and lightly browned and tofu is lightly browned all over, 5-7 minutes.
• Stir garlic powder and 2 tsp curry powder (4 tsp for 4 servings) into pan with tofu and bell pepper. (TIP: Use more curry powder if you like a stronger flavor!) Cook for 1 minute. • Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening. Stir in coconut milk, chili sauce, stock concentrates, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. • Simmer until sauce has thickened and bell pepper is tender, 4-6 minutes. (TIP: If sauce thickens before bell pepper is tender, add splashes of water.) Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if desired. Turn off heat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the lime zest (all for 4 servings), half the cilantro, and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with curry tofu. Garnish with remaining cilantro and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
