Ingredients

• 400 grams Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 Red chili pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it gently to remove excess water. Cut into small bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic and slice the red chili peppers. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Cut the red bell pepper into strips.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the garlic and red chili peppers. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Return the tofu to the pan. Add the vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry until the leaves are wilted, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice.
