Notes
I like Trader Joe’s brand of super firm tofu because it doesn’t need to be pressed, just dried off with a towel. If you do need to press the tofu, I suggest wrapping it in linen or paper towels and putting something heavy on top for 15 - 20 minutes.
Coconut aminos brands differ - I like coconut secret brand and Trader Joe's brand.
I used the Mae Ploy green curry paste. If you need this recipe to be vegan, I would suggest using Thai Kitchen Green curry paste instead.
I used Lotus Foods pad thai white rice noodles. If you use this brand you will need 1.5 packages.
