Easy Rendang Tofu & Broccoli Bowls are one of my favourite dinners! Did you know that an aromatic rending curry paste can be blitzed together in a matter of minutes? Throw everything into a blender and create a beautifully-fragrant curry paste. It brightens up anything from tofu and seitan, to veggies, rice and noodles. Now …
