“This is the no-fuss curry recipe for 'quick and easy' cooks out there. The rice is simple yet sweet and flavorful and the tofu with green beans will satisfy even the pickiest eaters.” - by KMakoto

Directions

Pour water, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and rice into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden-brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. When browned, stir in green beans, curry powder, and 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Simmer until the green beans are tender, then serve over rice.

It turned out to be fantastic. I'm definitely making this again."

When I make it again, I will definitely steam the green bean..." See mores before I add them to the mixture. They take forever to get tender and the sauce nearly disappears!"
