Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan, add the Thai green curry paste and cook for 2 minutes stirring frequently.
Add the tofu, stir lightly until coated with the curry paste then cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the shallots, chilli and garlic and carry on cooking for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a simmer. Add the baby corn, courgette, red pepper, green beans and asparagus. Cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes and then add the pak choi. Simmer for a minute and then tip in the fresh lime juice and chopped coriander.
