Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 2 bell peppers (red or yellow)
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp red chili flakes

Method

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
2. Slice the bell peppers thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add minced garlic and sliced bell peppers to the skillet; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and tender.
5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, and chili flakes. Pour over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.
6. Add Thai basil leaves and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves wilt.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over steamed rice.
8. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
