Vegan, Gluten-Free Tofu Thai Peanut Curry

Do you have friends or family skeptical of Tofu? This is a great way to introduce them to the world of Tofu in the most delicious way! When I cook for my dad, I always leave out the ingredient list until after we eat because he’s difficult to please. Even dads will enjoy this curry!
