📝 Ingredients

• 200 gram firm tofu
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper or to taste
• 2 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
• 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
• 2 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon corn starch or potato starch
• 1 Cup water or vegetable stock
• 2 sprigs green onion, finely chopped
• handful of Thai Basil
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1First to remove excess water from tofu. Wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place something heavy on top (like a cast iron skillet or a few cookbooks) for at least 15 minutes. Once pressed, crumble the tofu to get that minced texture.
2. 2Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu in a single layer, season it with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is slight brown. This usually takes about 2 – 3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, onion, and saute for a minute.
3. 3In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, chilli sauce, chilli flakes, kaffir lime, starch, and water/stock.
4. 4Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and let it bubble and thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and immediately add the fresh Thai basil leaves and green onion. Stir gently until the basil has just wilted.
5. 5Serve Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry with jasmine rice, quinoa, or shirataki rice.
