  1. Prepare the tofu: drain the tofu, wrap it in a towel, and place something heavy on top to drain any excess liquid. Allow to press for at least 20 minutes. Once pressed, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Cook rice according to your preferred method.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Add the tofu cubes to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir in cornstarch and toss until tofu is evenly coated. Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tofu is nice and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Add onion, garlic, and ginger to a food processor and blend into a paste.
  6. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion mixture and fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in curry powder and cook for an additional minute. 
  8. Stir in tomato paste and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add the coconut milk, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  9. Add the tofu cubes to the sauce and serve with rice and cilantro.
