Coconut & Peanut Soup with Tofu brings together pantry staples into a deeply satisfying bowl that feels both nourishing and full of character. The combination of coconut milk and peanuts is widely used across Southeast Asian cooking, where rich bases meet bold seasoning for layered flavour. This coconut peanut tofu soup stands out for its balance. The creaminess from coconut milk softens the nuttiness of peanuts, while tofu adds protein and a mild texture that absorbs the broth beautifully. The addition of ginger and garlic keeps the base lively without overpowering the core ingredients. For everyday cooking, this dish works well during cooler evenings or when you need something warm yet not too heavy. It also adapts easily to meal prep, as the flavours deepen after resting, making it a reliable choice for a quick reheated meal.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare tofu

Pat the tofu dry thoroughly using a clean cloth to remove excess moisture. Heat a little oil in a pan and place the cubes in a single layer. Cook until each side turns lightly golden, which helps firm up the texture and prevents breaking later.
