Step 1
Put tofu pieces in a colander placed in the sink and let them drain at least 10 minutes.
Step 2
While tofu drains, cut eggplant into slightly-diagonal slices about 1 inch thick, cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, thinly slice green onion, and wash Thai basil leaves (if using.)
Step 3
Mix sauce ingredients.
Step 4
When the tofu has drained, put a double layer of paper towels on a cutting board, lay the tofu pieces on the paper towel, and put another double layer of paper towels on top of the tofu.
Step 5
Press down with the palm of your hand to press water out of the tofu so it’s absorbed by the towels.
Step 6
Discard towels and cut tofu into squares slightly over 1 inch square. (Don’t make them too small.)
Step 7
Heat the dry wok over high heat for about one minute, add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat one minute more, then add the garlic cloves and cook just until they are fragrant, about 30-45 seconds. (Don’t let the garlic brown.)
Step 8
Remove garlic and discard.
Step 9
Add the tofu cubes, laying each on one of the larger sides so the tofu is in a single layer.
Step 10
Cook over medium-high heat, turning often, until the tofu is well-browned on all sides. (Pay close attention to keep the tofu turned so it doesn’t burn. We use a pair of long-handled tongs for this.)
Step 11
Remove browned tofu to a plate while you cook the vegetables.
Step 12
Add the other tablespoon of oil and heat for about a minute, then add the eggplant slices and stir-fry about 4 minutes, or just until the eggplant is just starting to soften and brown.
Step 13
Add red pepper strips and stir-fry about 2 minutes more.
Step 14
Add the browned tofu pieces back into the wok and cook for 1 minute to be sure the tofu is hot.
Step 15
Add the sauce to the wok and cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring often so all the pieces of tofu and the vegetables get well-glazed with the sauce.
Step 16
Add the sliced green onions and Thai basil (if using) and cook about 1 minute more.
Step 17
Serve hot.
Step 18
This will keep overnight in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave, but it’s best when it’s freshly made.
