Peanut Curry Tofu in Spicy Wonton Cups, A must try for the tofu resistant! This recipe hinges on technique and a spicy innovation: First, tofu takes on an entirely different texture when it is frozen and thawed which is akin to ground meat Second, spicing up the wonton dough kicks these little cups into over-drive! The prep time is deceiving Prep time includes time to FREEZE and THAW tofu, prep wonton wrappers and curry base Cook time includes time to bake wonton cups and saute tofu Assembly takes about 5 minutes This really comes together quickly! If you’re short on time and like the concept of this recipe, wonton wrappers are available in some supermarkets but making this spicy rendition is both easy and rewarding and the resulting wontons are a great springboard for other dishes! Planning tip: throw the tofu into the freezer when you get it home and move it to the fridge on the morning that you’re going to prepare this dish by the time you’re ready to cook in the afternoon, it will have thawed When you’re ready, begin with the wonton dough since it needs time to rest When it’s resting, prepare the curry base and saute the tofu The tofu mixture will be chilled by the time the wonton dough has rested Slice and bake away, then assemble In a pinch, put the baked wonton cups in the freezer for a minute or two to chill before filling , A must try for the tofu resistant!
