Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 block 14 ounces firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1-2 Thai bird chilies sliced (adjust for spice preference)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • Cooked jasmine rice for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and add it to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced bell pepper and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the tofu to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves until just wilted.
  7. Serve the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice.
