Thai Basil fried rice with tofu, anyone??
.
Happy Thursday, friends?! Have you tried making fried rice at home? It’s quick, simple and all in one pan – really?.
The trick to get fluffy rice is to use less water than required when you cook the rice. For this dish, I used Jasmine rice that I received from @lotusfoods as #gifts. Thank you??very much for your generosity?
Recipe (serves 3-4)
Ingredients:
~ 3 cups of cooked Jasmine rice
~ 1 pack firm tofu, drained and cut into small cubes
~ 1 cup packed fresh Thai basil (I ? this herb)
~ 1/2 cup chopped ?
~ 3 cloves of garlic, minced
~ 2 teaspoons soy sauce to season tofu
~ few Thai chili, sliced cucumbers, lime wedges
~ salt to taste & oil
Sauce (whisk all in a bowl):
~ 2 tablespoon soy sauce/liquid amino
~ 1 tablespoon ‘fish’ sauce
~ 1 teaspoon maple syrup or 1/2 teaspoon coconut sugar
In a nonstick pan with 1 teaspoon oil, pan fry tofu until lightly brown, season with 2 teaspoons soy sauce and set aside. ?
Using the same pan, add 3 teaspoons oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Then, add tomato, tofu, rice & sauce. Stir continuously until each grain is coated with sauce. Season accordingly to your preference.
?
Finally, stir in chili and Thai basil, turn off heat and mix rice until well combined. Serve warm, I like to pair it with cucumber and a squeeze of lime juice.
Let me know what you think?? & have a great ?Thursday!!
* Closest sub for fish sauce: 2 teaspoons coconut sugar, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hot water, and chopped Thai chilies.
