Another take on the Thai curry, beautifully yellow instead of the usual green or red curry. Full of fresh vegetables, cut into big chunks, just cooked enough to still have lots of bite. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, they’re best in a coconut curry when still crisp and colourful. Mellow turmeric taste and gorgeous yellow, easy to make and full of marinated tofu and very saucy.

- Wash all the vegetables. Peel and roughly chop the onions. Add to the wok with the whole baby corn.
- Peel the carrot and julienne them. Add to the wok with the oil, curry powder, coriander, cumin, chili flakes and mango powder. Turn the heat on high, fry for about 3 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Roughly chop the red bell pepper. Chop the ends off the sugar snap peas. Peel and finely slice the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger finely. Add in all together when the onions are translucent and mix well. Fry for about 3 minutes.
- Add in the coconut milk. Stir and put the lid on. Bring to simmer on medium and simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
- Then add the marinated tofu, sliced spring onion and soy sauce. Simmer for about a minute.
- Serve with jasmine rice. Top with fresh sprouts, sliced spring onion and sesame seeds.
