Tofu400 g, fried
Thai Basil2 handfuls
Fish Sauce2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Get your wok ripping hot and add the Coconut Oil — it should shimmer instantly.
2
Toss in the shallots and red curry paste for 15 seconds, no longer, so they perfume the oil without burning.
3
Add the tofu and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.
4
Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the fish sauce around the edge of the wok.
5
Toss twice more, kill the heat, and serve immediately over steamed rice — a stir-fry waits for no one.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
