Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring every 2 or 3 minutes, until browned, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk, broth and red curry paste to taste.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add tofu, green beans and brown sugar, return to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender crisp, 3or 4 minutes.

Stir in lime juice and salt. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves on top. Serve warm over steamed rice with lime wedges.
