Coconut Mango Tofu Curry
Mango adds a sweet finish to tofu and green beans in a coconut curry sauce. It is a dinner where ripe fruit is folded in briefly, not cooked until it disappears. Give the beans time to soften before adding the mango. Choose a vegan-labeled curry paste when that fits your needs, and check the particular jar's ingredients and allergens.
