Thai Basil Tofu with a kick! ? This spicy and flavoursome dinner ⠀
⠀
Recipe ✨⠀
Ingredients:⠀
~ 1 package of firm tofu, drained and mashed⠀
~ 1/2 cup packed Thai basil leaves⠀
~ 7-8 Thai chilies, chopped⠀
~ 5 cloves garlic, minced⠀
~ 3-4 shallots, minced⠀
~ 3 tablespoons coconut amino⠀
~ 1 tablespoon soy sauce⠀
~ 3 tablespoons ‘fish’ sauce*⠀
~ 3 teaspoons coconut sugar⠀
~ 1 teaspoon salt⠀
~ 1 tablespoon ? oil⠀
.⠀
Whisk coconut amino, soy sauce, ‘fish’ sauce, sugar and salt in a bowl until well combined, set aside.⠀
In a nonstick pan with low-medium heat (no oil), pan-fry mashed tofu until golden brown to get the chewy texture.⠀
Using the same pan, push tofu aside, add 3 teaspoons oil and sauté garlic and shallots until soft. Add half the sauce, mix with tofu and let simmer for 2 minutes. Then, add chilies and remaining sauce and let the sauce thicken (when sugar caramelized). Finally, stir in basil and serve warm with your favorite grain.⠀
* Closest sub that I can think of for fish sauce: 1 tablespoon sugar, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, and chopped Thai chilies.
