Preparation

Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
Wash and dry all produce.
Pat tofu thoroughly dry with paper towels, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss together tofu, half the Thai Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Broil in the middle of the oven for 9-11 min, stirring halfway through, until golden.

Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Trim, then halve snow peas.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Zest, then juice lime.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high.
When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then curry paste, snow peas, peppers and remaining Thai Spice Blend. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until veggies start to soften.

Add soy sauce, stock powder, coconut milk, tofu, 1/2 tsp ( 1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens slightly and tofu is warmed through. Stir in chicken.
Remove from heat.
Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lime juice.

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime zest. Season with salt.
Spoon rice onto one side of each bowl, the spoon curry on the other side.
Sprinkle cashews over curry.

If you've opted to add chicken breast tenders, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook veggies.
