Thai Basil Tofu (Pad Krapow)

Thai Basil Tofu (Pad Krapow)

Thai Basil Tofu (Pad Krapow) made with fresh Thai basil, tofu, and vegetables stir-fried and served over rice. 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. This dish is not made to be spicy, but you can make it spicy by adding chili flakes to the sauce or towards the end of cooking.

Ingredients

Thai Basil Tofu (Pad Krapow)

  • 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)

Thai Basil Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 3 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 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.
  10. Serve with rice or rice noodles and enjoy!
  11. Optionally, you may top the dish with chili flakes or sriracha for that extra kick.
