Green Curry

When there are not enough hours in the day I make this Vegan Green Curry with miso-roasted tofu and shiitake mushrooms. It is three pan meal, with some knife work, nothing major. It is as easy as putting the rice in the steamer, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms in the oven, and vegan greenery in a pot. In a matter of 30-40 minutes, you have a dinner that is as good as going out to dinner.
The vegan green curry is full of sweet aromatic flavors highlights of lemongrass and Kaffir lime make the curry so bright. This recipe is light on the spice but you could easily add your own to punch up the spice.
Combining miso, and tofu with shiitake mushrooms is such an easy move that has delivered on all fronts, with huge flavor, and to be honest, it is very diverse, just adjust the flavors that are layered on top of the miso paste.
