Cook 1 cup of rice using your preferred method. If you have a rice cooker, this is a great time to use it, as the rice will be ready by the time the vegetables and tofu are cooked.
Slice the tofu into small triangles for easy browning and an appealing look in the curry.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large skillet until it shimmers.
Gently add the tofu triangles to the hot oil, letting them cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and warmed through.
Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high.
Add the frozen stir-fry vegetables to the pan and stir to coat them in oil, arranging them in a single layer to cook evenly.
Flip the vegetables occasionally for the next 7-10 minutes, until they begin to brown slightly. Add the chopped hot pepper at this stage if you like a bit of extra heat.
Lower the heat to medium and add the tofu back to the pan.
Pour 5 ounces of Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce into the skillet. Adjust the amount to taste if you prefer more or less sauce.
Gently stir to coat the vegetables and tofu with the sauce. Allow everything to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
