Copycat PF Chang's Thai Harvest Curry with Tofu

Our copycat version of P.F. Chang's  Thai Harvest Curry is a great way to get your daily fix of vegetables without going out.  It lives up to the name, Harvest, by packing a lot of herbs and vegetables, 10, to be exact.  You can use any protein in addition to tofu or instead of the tofu.

On their website, they categorized this recipe as spicy, vegetarian and lighter but Mod thinks it is sweeter than a typical Thai red curry dish.  She also thinks the sweetness reminds her of brown sugar which is why we used a light brown sugar.

Nutrition Adjustments

We think we may have decreased the calorie count a little by using light brown sugar and lite coconut milk.  We started from scratch, of course, and don't know their actual recipe.  Almost all of our recipes have been modified in ways we think make them healthier too.  🙂  People may say it's not authentic Thai cuisine but we usually don't change the flavor much in the end.

Spiciness Level

To adjust the level of spice you can use go with more or less red curry paste.  I'd estimate the spiciness level is a 3 on a scale of 1-5 as it is.   I think we made it slightly spicier than PF Chang's so feel free to add or subtract some of the curry paste.    Thai restaurants, like the one's Mod has worked at, use coconut milk to decrease the spice level once the dish is already made.  You can always add more coconut if you want to start a bit spicier.
