   cook the pepper and the onion, stirring,    for 1
   minute. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring one
     minute. Add the stock, coconut milk, chili flakes,
   and tofu and simmer, stirring occasionally, to heat
   through and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
   Sprinkle with the ngo om and chopped peanuts and serve
   with rice. Source: Simple Art of Vietnamese Cooking
