Spicy Fried Tofu with Basil 01-MAR-02 p. 47

6 Servings

 

This stir-fry uses just a few ingredients, but the

flavor is wonderfully complex. The Thai Lemongrass and

Chile Soup and Bangkok Noodles (p. 48) make tasty

accompaniments.

 

1 Tbs. vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 small fresh red or green chile peppers, seeded and

minced

1 lb. extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch

cubes

1 Tbs. tamari or soy sauce

1 tsp. sugar

1/2 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into

1/2-inch lengths

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1. Heat oil in wok or large, deep skillet over high

heat. Toss in garlic and chiles, and stir-fry 2 to 3

minute. Add tofu, and stir-fry until tofu is heated

through, about 2 minutes.

 

2. Add soy sauce and sugar, and mix well. Add beans,

and cook just until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Add

basil, and mix thoroughly. Transfer to warm platter

and serve hot.
