Ingredients for 2 portions

250 g Tofu
250 g Green beans
40 g Vegan-labelled Thai red curry paste
20 g Rapeseed oil
10 g Palm sugar
15 g Soy sauce
4 g Makrut lime leaves
400 g Plain ready-cooked rice

Method

Drain and pat 250 g firm tofu dry, then cut into 2 cm cubes. Trim 250 g green beans and cut into short lengths. Finely shred 4 g makrut lime leaves, removing tough central ribs. Have 400 g plain ready-cooked rice ready to reheat safely.
Heat 20 g rapeseed oil in a wide pan. Brown the tofu for about 5 minutes, turning gently. Add the beans and 40 g vegan-labelled red curry paste; stir-fry 4 minutes until fragrant and the beans have started to soften.
Add 10 g palm sugar, 15 g soy sauce and about 60 g water. Cook uncovered for 6–8 minutes until the beans are tender and most water has evaporated, leaving a coating rather than a soup. Stir through the makrut leaves for the final minute. Reheat the ready-cooked rice until steaming hot and divide rice and stir-fry equally between two bowls.

Adapted from Kip’s vegan pad prik king, using drained tofu without the source’s optional 10-minute boil and 20-minute cooling. The 30-minute time requires ready-cooked rice; rice cooked from raw adds time. Buy a clearly vegan red curry paste, since standard pastes may contain shrimp or fish; the cited paste is one representative vegan-labelled product. The restaurant photograph shows tofu and green beans but no rice, and its sauce ingredients cannot be verified. Calories and timing are editorial estimates, not kitchen or laboratory measurements.
