After much improvising and research, this is by far the best Panang I have ever had. So flavorful that no extra seasonings like pepper need to be added.

Ingredients

Brown Rice:

  • 3 cups water, or as needed

  • 2 cups brown rice

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Panang Curry:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 ½ tablespoons panang curry paste

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian fish sauce

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 5 makrut lime leaves

  • 8 ounces fried tofu, cubed

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces

  • ¼ cup diagonally sliced carrots

Directions

  1. Combine water, brown rice, soy sauce, and salt in a rice cooker. Cover and cook according to manufacturer's directions, about 35 minutes.

  2. Heat vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add curry paste; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add coconut milk, fish sauce, white sugar, and lime leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in tofu, broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender but not soft, 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. Serve panang curry over brown rice.

Cook's Notes:

If not serving immediately, remove the skillet from the heat, add tofu and vegetables, and set aside, covered, so they just start to soften. When ready to serve, reheat for 1 to 2 minutes.

You can add the soy sauce to the brown rice when it is almost done instead.
