4 servings
For the curry
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp vegan green curry paste
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
Ingredient noteSugar snap peas are lower in fructose than their name suggests, and the portion used here is modest, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid snap peas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteRed and yellow bell peppers contain some excess fructose that a low fructose diet limits in larger servings; the small amount used here (about a third of a cup or less per serving) keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid red bell pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice

For serving
