Very good recipe. I only used 2 Tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 Tablespoon of red curry and it was perfect. The sauce is delish. However, I am not sure why but I don't like the green beans in this recipe. The green beans taste out of place. So, The next time, I think I would use red and green bell peppers.

This is a wonderful dish. I steamed the green beans for about 15 min before combining them in the sauce so they would absorb the flavor of the sauce, and they turned our crisp. Next time I'll try asparagus.

Oh my gosh this was delicious. I doubled the recipe and found that double the sauce was too much, maybe next time will use 4 cups coconut milk instead of 5. I substituted chopped baby portabella mushrooms, 4 serrano chiles, and lime juice instead of kaffir lime leaves. I also crisped up the tofu separately in peanut oil and added it near the end. And the results were wonderful. Will definitely make again and again. Thanks for posting!

This turned out absolutely fabulous! I used red curry powder with a little fish sauce to make the paste. I also sauteed the tofu with some broccoli and celery before starting the dish. I then just added them in when the recipe called for them. At the end I added some bean sprouts and I served the whole thing over noodles. I left out the green beans and lime leaves altogether and used snap peas and lime juice instead. Also, 1 can of coconut milk was just enough. This recipe is a keeper!

I loved the ease of this recipe. The most difficult part was cutting up the vegetables!
A few things--it wasn't nearly as spicy as I would have liked. Maybe adding in the chilies earlier in the recipe, or increasing the amount would have helped.
Also, I think the tofu would be much better if sauteed ahead of time, so it can hold shape and have some flavor.

This was my first try at making a Thai dish. I couldn't find the lime leaves and I forgot to buy curry paste so I had to improvise a little. I substituted a bay leaf and some drops of lime juice for the kaffir lime leaves and I made my own curry paste with a super simple recipe here on Zaar. Two Thai chilies were plenty, and I used extra firm tofu. Next time I'd like to stir fry the green beans and the tofu ahead of time--to tenderize the greens slightly and to help firm up the tofu a little more.

Very tasty, easy to make. I used much more vegetables, and Thai green curry paste because that's what I had. I think next time I will heed other reviewer's comments about 'too wet'. A keeper!

Green beans are kind of a surprising ingredient in Thai food (at least to me), but this is still really delicious! I only had about 5 mushrooms on-hand so I used those, about 1/4 of a red bell pepper, 16-oz tofu and 2 cups green beans. I also only used only 1 can of coconut milk rather because we don't like it too wet. Other than that, I made as directed. Very tasty! A very unique, very delicious and quick Thai dish. Oh, we did put the green beans in first because we were worried about how long they would take to cook, which worked well. I was surprised at how well the green bean flavor paired with the coconut milk and tofu- none of those are usually in recipes together that I've seen. Thanks for another winner, Sue!
