Ingredients

  • 14 oz Extra firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 2 cups Thai holy basil leaves (Krapow)
  • 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 pieces Thai bird's eye chilies, smashed
  • 2 tbsp Vegetarian mushroom sauce
  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable broth(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the tofu by pressing out excess water and crumbling it into small, bite-sized pieces to mimic the texture of minced meat.

  2. 2

    Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic and Thai bird's eye chilies together into a coarse paste.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and chili paste to the wok, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.

  5. 5

    Add the crumbled tofu to the wok and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.

  6. 6

    Pour in the mushroom sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar, tossing well to coat the tofu evenly.

  7. 7

    If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of vegetable broth to create a light glaze.

  8. 8

    Turn off the heat and immediately toss in the fresh holy basil leaves, stirring until they are just wilted.
