- Heat the oil in a wok or large deep frying pan, preferably non-stick. Add the onion and stir over a moderate heat for 7–8 minutes until softened. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a few more seconds.
- Add the baby corn and stir to coat in the curry paste. Gradually add the stock, soy sauce and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 1 minute. Carefully stir in the remaining vegetables and tofu. Bring back to simmering point, then cover and cook for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
- Add the noodles to the vegetable mixture and stir-fry for a further minute. Stir in the chopped coriander and serve straight away.
variation
This dish would also work well made with 2 large chicken breast fillets, cut into 2.5cm cubes, instead of tofu. Lightly brown the chicken with the onion in a mixture of toasted sesame and vegetable oils.
cook's tip
Thai red curry paste often includes shrimp so this dish is not suitable for strict vegetarians.
