Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and sear over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the Thai basil and cilantro, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the chili, star anise and lemongrass for 4 minutes.

Cook the rice noodles separately and drain.

Let the tofu simmer for about 16 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the rice noodles, garnished with fresh herbs.
