Tofu Holy Basil Stir-Fry

Pad Kra Prow is a Thai national dish found on many a street corner.

The Thai basil (also known as holy basil) is pungent and powerful and absolutely makes this dish.

Serves 4

Method

1. Using either a pestle and mortar, grind the chillies and garlic to a paste.
2. Heat the oil in a wok set over a high heat. Add the chilli and garlic mixture and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until nice and golden brown.
3. Now add the tofu or TVP chunks, both soy sauces, the palm sugar and white pepper and cook, tossing everything around in the pan, for about 1 minute, until the tofu or TVP is well coated and has taken on a little colour from the sauces.
4. Once everything is mixed well, add the onion, peppers and long beans and cook for a further 30 seconds, all the while tossing the mixture together. Throw in the basil and lime leaves and stir-fry for a further 30 seconds. Serve immediately with jasmine rice.
