Easy Vegan Red Curry with Tofu and Vegetables

You can use any vegetable combination for this vegan Thai curry. I usually just raid my fridge and use whatever needs to go. The cooking goes really fast, so it is best to do all the prep in advance. Do check the spiciness of your Thai curry paste before using it - there is a wide variety and you don't want to ruin your curry with too much curry paste. Better to start with a smaller amount and then add.
