Tofu Praram Long Song a.k.a The Swimming Rama is my all time favorite Thai dish. It's all about the creamy peanut sauce that keeps me wanting for more. This dish comes in whatever protein you like such as chicken, pork, or beef, but I like mine with Tofu because it brings out the peanut sauce even more. Also you can use any green vegetable you like such as broccoli. I've been wanting to make this for a very long time at home because every time I order it at the restaurant I come back home wanting more. I adapted the recipe from the website called
Recipes From the Thai Kitchen. It gives a brief history of where this recipe originated from and the popularity of it in the US. The recipe was easy to follw and I got the results I wanted. The original recipe called form Palm Sugar but I used honey. As for the tamarind sauce, I still have my Pad Thai sauce which I used sparingly but you can buy concentrated tamarind at the Asian market. The original recipe didn't call for peanut butter which I added because that's what I love about it.
Ingredients:
1 14 oz of coconut milk
2 tsp of red curry paste (more or less depending on desired heat)
1 tbs of honey
1 tbs of pad thai sauce
1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup of chopped peanuts
1 package of tofu, cubed
2 tbs of vegetable oil
1 bunch of spinach leaves or broccoli florets
red chili flakes (optional)
Directions:
Simmer coconut milk and curry paste in a sauce pan until oil starts to come up on top
Add honey, pad thai sauce,peanuts, and peanut butter and simmer until thick and creamy
In a non-stick frying pan, brown tofu on all sides and set aside.
Combine the tofu in the sauce and mix well
Place the spinach leaves on a serving platter and pour the sauce on top. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and red chili flakes (optional)

This looks great! I've had a block of unopened tofu in the fridge for weeks now. I was going to do the usual mapo tofu but I think I'll give this a try instead. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This is really timely. I need meatless meals for Lent and this will really fill the bill. I stopped by to say hello and stayed much longer than I planned. You have a lovely blog and I'll be back often. Mary
