Instructions

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

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

Stir in the fish sauce, lemongrass, chili and hoisin sauce for 4 minutes.

Cook the jasmine rice separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the tofu simmer for about 12 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

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