Method

Arrange tofu between several layers of paper towels on a large plate.


Using the palm of your hand, press down gently to remove as much liquid as possible from the tofu.


Change out the paper towels and repeat a second time.


Cut tofu into 1 1/2-inch cubes and toss gently in a bowl with flour.


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.


Shake excess flour off of tofu then carefully transfer to skillet.


Fry tofu, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 5 to 6 minutes total.


Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.


Bring a large pot of salted water to a bowl.


Add broccoli and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.


Using a slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to a bowl of ice water until chilled then drain well.


Repeat process with green beans; set aside.


Put cilantro, mint, basil, coconut milk, chiles, ginger, lemongrass, sugar and 1/2 cup water into a blender and puree until smooth.


Transfer to a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat; season with salt and pepper.


Add corn, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms and tofu and cook just until warmed through, about 2 minutes.


Divide noodles between bowls and top with curry, tofu and vegetables.


Garnish with green onions and lime wedges.
