thai basil tofu

Try this easy and fast recipe for vegetarian Thai basil tofu stir fry aka Tofu Pad Krapow. Stir fried ground tofu with garlic, ginger, and veggies in a spicy, savory soy sauce!

15 Minute Thai Basil Tofu Stir Fry (Pad Krapow)

packet extra firm tofu (16 oz (454 g))

Tablespoons avocado oil

red bell pepper (sliced)

green beans (cut to ½ inch long pieces)

onion

basil

eggs (optional)

salt & pepper

Tablespoons dark soy sauce

brown sugar

garlic (chopped)

ginger (grated)

Thai chili pepper

Take your extra firm tofu and squeeze out as much water as you can with your hands and some paper towels. Next crumble it up with a fork or your hands to get 'ground' tofu.

Add the ground tofu to a hot pan with oil and saute until it becomes dry, about 5 minutes. Optional: meanwhile in a separate pan, cook two eggs sunny side up over high heat until the edges become crispy.

Add the sauce, bell peppers, green beans, and onions to the pan and saute everything together for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked but still crispy.

Season your tofu mixture with salt &amp; pepper to taste. Tofu is pretty bland so it may need a pinch of salt. I added about 1/4 teaspoon.

Turn off the heat and stir in your Thai basil and mix it together until the basil wilts.

Serve over rice and top with the crispy fried egg.

ginger

garlic

To begin with, press your tofu block for 20 minutes using a tofu press or two heavy objects. Once done cut the tofu into very small cubes. Chopping the tofu into small cubes helps in absorbing the sauce really well.

Now heat a heavy cast iron pan or skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. In medium heat, add the tofu cubes as single layer.

Pan fry the tofu cubes for 4-5 minutes or until they turn slightly crispy and golden from all sides. Remove to a plate.

In the same pan heat 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil. Throw in the minced ginger garlic and chili flakes. Fry for a minute in high heat.

Now maintaining high heat add thinly sliced onions. Saute for a minute.

Next in goes the sliced bell peppers and saute.

Now add the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and freshly cracked black peppercorns.

Saute for 3-4 minutes. Throw in 1/2 cup torn thai basil leaves. Mix well and saute for a minute.

Finally in goes the pan fried tofu and toss in the sauce for a minute. Remove from flame, add more basil leaves and chopped spring onion greens. Serve hot.
