Thai tofu basil stir fry is the vegan version of the popular Thai basil chicken. While I have previously shared the recipe for the chicken stir fry with basil on my food blog, I understand that many people are looking for a vegan option. Therefore, I have developed this vegan version of the bail stir-fry recipe. It is done by replacing the chicken with extra-firm tofu.
Other ingredients used in this recipe are mostly the same as the chicken version. This dish combines savory, sweet, and spicy flavors and the fragrant taste of fresh Thai basil leaves. It is a must-try for anyone who loves Thai cuisine and is best served with steamed rice.

Recipe:
(Please download the recipe and read the full details at tasteasianfood.com/thai-basil... )
A (main ingredients)
400g firm tofu, cut into small cubes
3 stalks of long beans (50g), cut into short sections
1 large handful of Thai basil (30g dry weight)
B (seasonings)
2 tbsp fish sauce
1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
1.5 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp water
C (others)
8 bird's eye chiles
4 cloves garlic
2 red chilies
Method
Fried the tofu and prepare the sauce
- Remove the tofu from its packaging and place it on a dry cloth to remove the excess moisture.
- Cut the firm tofu into cubes about half a centimeter in size.
- Place the tofu cubes in a nonstick skillet without oil. Gradually increase the heat and pan-fry the tofu cubes until most of the excess water evaporates.
- Add oil to mix with the tofu, and adjust the heat to medium-high to stir-fry the tofu until golden brown.
- Roughly chop the chili, mash the garlic cloves, and grind them with a mortar and pestle.
- Mix the ingredients B to form the sauce.
The stir-frying process
- Saute the chili and garlic paste with oil until they become aromatic.
- Add the green beans and stir-fry until tender and slightly crisp. If they get too dry, add some water halfway through.
- Pour the fried tofu into the pan and mix it with the green beans.
- Add the stir-fry sauce.
- Turn up the heat and stir everything until it is well combined.
- Add a handful of Thai basil leaves to the pan and quickly mix them with all the tofu pieces.
- Lastly, turn off the heat and let the latent heat cook through the basil until it is slightly wilted.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves to serve.
