Instructions

• Start by taking the extra firm tofu and gently squeeze out excess water using your hands and some paper towels. Crumble the tofu into small pieces, creating a "ground" tofu texture.
• Add all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir to combine, and set aside.
• Heat a skillet or wok with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu and sauté until it becomes dry, which should take around 5 minutes.
• Add the sauce to the skillet, along with the bell pepper, green beans, and onion. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked but still have some bite.
• Season the tofu mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Tofu can be quite bland, so it may need a pinch of salt. Start with about ¼ teaspoon and adjust to taste.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the basil, mixing it until the basil wilts.
• Serve the stir-fry with steamed white rice or lettuce cups.
