Also saute your shallot or onion, but don't cook all the way through as it will finish cooking in the curry.

- Slowly pour the white part of your canned coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Stop pouring when you get to the clear coconut water from the bottom so that your curry doesn't end up too runny. Start the burner on low/med-low heat.
- Add your onion/shallot, most of the basil, scallions, curry, and the rest of your spices. Stir together. Add half the lime juice and half of the brown sugar and stir to incorporate, then taste. If too acidic, add more brown sugar; if too sweet, add more lime juice. Adjust spices to your taste.
- Add the tofu to the saucepan and let it all stew together for at least fifteen minutes on low heat, but for as long as you like beyond that. Stir in the last of the basil just before serving.
- Remove and plate the tofu, then and garnish with roasted sesame seeds. Serve in a bowl or rimmed plate along with rice and the curry sauce.
