Method

  1. Cook the rice to pack instructions. Meanwhile, put a baking tray in the oven and preheat it to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put 1 tsp oil on the tray and arrange the asparagus in an even layer. Roast for 8 mins, turning the asparagus once until lightly browned and just tender.
  2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat, add the garlic and cook for 2 mins until lightly golden. Add the curry paste and cook for a further 2-3 mins until very fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk and 100ml water. Add the aubergine and courgette, cover and simmer over a low heat for 3 mins. Stir in the edamame beans (if using), 1 tbsp soy sauce and the lime juice.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat until hot. Add the tofu and fry for 5 mins until golden brown on all sides. Season with 1 tsp soy sauce and black pepper. Scatter the tofu over the curry. Divide between 4 bowls and top with the asparagus. Garnish with the chilli (if using) and basil, and serve with the rice.
