Thai Pad Kra Pao with Tofu
I really love the classic Thai pad kra pao, but for weeknight dinners, I prefer eating a little bit less meat.

Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Drain the tofu and put it into a clean kitchen towel. Press as much liquid as possible out, until you are left with sort of dry tofu crumbles.
- 2
Heat a pan (non stick is probably best!) with some oil and add your tofu. Let it cook undisturbed on crispy and golden on one side.
- 3
In the meantime, mix oyster sauce, light soy and fish sauce in a small bowl.
- 4
Add the shallots, garlic and chilis to the tofu and continue frying for 3-4 minutes.
- 5
Add the sauce and ⅓ cup of water. Let reduce for a few minutes before adding the basil.
- 6
Fry for another minute or two.
