Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound extra-firm tofu

1 tablespoon safflower oil

1 small onion -- thinly sliced

1/2 red bell pepper -- cut into 1/4 inch

strips

2 small serrano chilies -- thinly sliced

2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic

3 tablespoons low-sodium tamari

1 teaspoon light brown sugar

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

1 cup loosely packed holy basil

 

Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place the tofu slices on a baking

sheet lined with paper towels. Cover the tofu with another layer of paper towels

and press on the slices to expel excess water. Cut the pressed tofu slices into

1/2 inch strips and set aside.

 

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell

pepper, chilies, and garlic, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the onion

begins to soften. Add the tamari, sugar, vinegar, and tofu, and continue to

stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the tofu is heated through. Add the basil and

cook a few seconds longer before serving.
