  1. 1

    Blend all paste ingredients together in a food processor or pound in a mortar until a smooth paste forms. Add a splash of water if needed to get the blades moving.

  2. 2

    Paste can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 1 week or frozen for 3 months.

  3. 3

    Skim thick coconut cream from the top of the chilled cans. Fry the coconut cream in a wok over high heat, stirring, until it 'cracks' — the oil separates and it looks bubbly and slightly oily.

  4. 4

    Add 3-4 tbsp green curry paste (or more for heat). Fry in the coconut cream for 3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add remaining coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Add tofu and zucchini. Simmer 8-10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Season with soy sauce and palm sugar. Taste — it should be savory, slightly sweet, fragrant, and hot.

  8. 8

    Turn off heat. Stir in spinach and Thai basil.

  9. 9

    Serve with jasmine rice.

Street-style pad thai with tofu instead of shrimp, and coconut aminos standing in for fish sauce. Tastes like the real thing, I promise.
