Thai-style Curried Tofu

I had some red curry paste to use up, and my family like satay-style tofu stir fry, so today I came up with the following marinade.....

Ingredients:
1 TBS Red curry paste (fish sauce/shrimp paste free!)
1/4 Cup light soy sauce
1 Small tin of low fat coconut milk (165ml)
equal parts water (165ml)
4x shredded Kaffir lime leaves
1 TBS peanut butter
3 TBS satay powder

1 250g block plain firm tofu - cubed

Mix all ingredients well in shallow container and place tofu cubes into marinade. Refrigerate for as long as possible, best if made at lunch or the night before.

To cook:
Heat a mild oil such as Rice Bran Oil in wok. Scoop tofu cubes out of marinade (set aside) and brown well in wok, add veggies such as spring onions, broccoli, wombok or other Asian veggies, mushrooms and zucchini, stir fry for 3-4 minutes, add remaining marinade, heat well then serve over basmati or brown rice.
