Instructions

  • Meanwhile, cook mashed tofu (be sure they are dry) in a heated non-stick pan with 1 tablespoon oil until slightly brown, then push to the side of the pan.
  • Add 2-3 toasted sesame oil, then garlic & sauté until aromatic. Stir in soy sauce, 'fish' sauce, Thai chili, basil & continue to cook for 1 minute until tofu absorbs all the sauce, turn off heat.
