Is it possible to sub any of the spices?

While it might be tempting to tweak the spice blend, sticking to the specified measurements of paprika, cumin, and black pepper gave me a well-balanced flavor profile.

Why is pressing the tofu important?

Pressing the tofu helps it absorb flavors better. Think of it as prepping the canvas before painting. I press mine for about 10 minutes, though there are others that recommend pressing it for longer than that.

Is wiping the mushrooms better than rinsing them?

Cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth, or even a dry cloth, gives a better result because since they are porous, mushrooms absorb water quickly and this affects their cooking and consequently their taste and texture.

Do I need to use coconut milk?

The coconut milk adds a tropical richness that complements the other flavors. However, if you're not a fan, you could experiment, for example, with a vegan alternative to cream.

Why let the dish rest a bit after cooking?

Letting the dish sit for 10 minutes allows the flavors to meld, creating a more harmonious result. Plus, you don't want to eat it too hot, otherwise you won't be able to fully experience the flavors.
