Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve, core and small-dice the sweet pepper. Juice the lime. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve, peel and small-dice the onion. Mince the garlic.
Cook the tofu
Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and cut into medium cubes; season with S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tofu and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden and heated through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Start the curry
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the onion, sweet pepper and garlic. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until the onion is translucent. Add the curry paste and soy sauce. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
Finish the curry
To the pan of curry, add the chickpeas, peanut butter, almond milk and ½ cup water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 min., until beginning to thicken. Add the lime juice, spinach and tofu. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until the spinach has wilted; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the curry. Bon appétit!
