Ingredients
Instructions
Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and saute over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts, Thai basil and scallions, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the star anise and chili for 4 minutes.
Cook the jasmine rice separately and fluff with a fork.
Let the tofu simmer for about 17 minutes so the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot over the jasmine rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
