This dish is perfect for plant-based diets, but you can always substitute the protein for shrimp, chicken, or beef. If you can’t find Thai basil, just substitute for regular basil you can find at any grocery store.

  • 3 shallots, sliced
  • 1 package extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup uncooked rice + 2 cups water (for serving)

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/2 lime juice
  • 2 Tbs Thai Basil leaves (de-stemmed, chopped)*save for the very end

Directions

  1. In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together your sauce ingredients. Set aside the basil until the very end.
  2. Then, prepare your protein and vegetables, and begin cooking your rice.
  3. In a skillet or wok, heat a bit of sesame oil on high and cook your tofu (or other protein). Cook until lightly crispened and then remove from the pan.
  4. Then, add in the onion, pepper, carrot, and zucchini, and begin to stir-fry.
  5. Cook the vegetables for 7-8 minutes or until they begin to soften and the onions are translucent.
  6. Then, add in the broccoli and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, creating a gap in the middle that exposes the bottom of the pan. Give the sauce a good final stir and then pour it into the pan.
  8. Allow the sauce to sit, bubble, and darken. Once it begins to do so, stir the sauce into the vegetables and add back in your protein.
  9. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Top with the basil.

  11. Optionally, you may top the dish with chili flakes or sriracha for that extra kick.
