Recipe Information
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

Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it gently to remove excess water. Cut into small bite-sized cubes.
Finely chop the garlic and slice the red chili peppers. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Cut the red bell pepper into strips.
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.
In the same pan, add the garlic and red chili peppers. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the tofu to the pan. Add the vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry until the leaves are wilted, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice.
