Part 5/6:
The combination of broth and coconut milk enhances both flavor and creaminess. A touch of soy sauce and agave nectar balances the spice with a hint of sweetness, creating a harmonious blend. As the mixture approaches a boil, the crispy tofu is strategically placed on top before covering the pan and moving it to the oven.
The Finishing Touches
After about 20 minutes in the oven, the dish is ready for garnishing. Chopped cilantro, scallion greens, and a squeeze of lime juice add brightness and freshness, elevating the dish. The result is a stunning, colorful, and aromatic plate that showcases beautifully melded flavors.
