I was utterly impressed with this dish - so simple, non-pretentious and heartwarming, yet so elegant and heavenly tasting!
The sweet and savoury components complement each other in such joyful harmony. Such a great discovery - it became one of my staples, and all the guests served were impressed too.
It's great as an appetizer, just halve the portion.

Instructions
Step 1
Add all the seasonings to the tofu and mix well.
Step 2
Preheat the bigger, deep pan with some cooking oil, add the tofu and cook until it gets a nice colour.
Step 3
Add sweet potato, frozen beans and parsley and mix all together.
Step 4
Add a vegetable cube and coconut milk, and stir well.
NOTE: Make sure not to use very fatty coconut milk since it will make the dish too heavy. I use the one from the Alpro brand - it has around 3g of sugar and 2g of fat per 100 ml, so try to find something similar. I also suggest not to go 100% sugar-free since we want some coconut sweetness in the dish.
Step 5
NOTE: i suggest to use low-fat coconut milk not to make the dish too heavy. I use the one from the Alpro brand - it has around 3g of sugar and 2g of fat per 100 ml, so try to find something similar. I also suggest not to go 100% sugar-free since we want some coconut sweetness in the dish.
Step 6
Cook for about 15-20 minutes on low-medium heat, partially covered with a lid.
NOTE: Don't worry if the milk separates a little, it will all come back together after you steer it at the end, just make sure not to cook it on lower heat.
Step 7
Extra: I learned it tastes even better if I leave it for additional 10-15 minutes with the closed lid after cooking, so if you are not in a hurry you can do this step too.
Step 8
Best served lukewarm! Enjoy the comforting charming coconutty flavour.
