Crispy tofu cubes stir-fried in a vibrant blend of Thai chilies, garlic, and fresh vegetables, delivering a perfect balance of heat and flavor.

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

Prepare the Tofu

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Heat the Oil

Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Fry the Tofu

In the same skillet, add minced garlic, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sauté Garlic

Add the chopped red and green bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Cook the Peppers

Return the fried tofu to the skillet. Add the chili paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Combine Ingredients

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh Thai basil just before serving.
