How to Make Evil Jungle Prince With Tofu

  1. Pound 2-3 Thai red chilies, 2 stalks lemongrass (white part only, finely chopped), and 4-5 kaffir lime leaves into a smooth paste using a mortar and pestle or food processor.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chili paste and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Add 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Adjust to taste.
  6. Serve immediately over a bed of thinly shredded cabbage. Garnish with extra basil and lime wedges (optional).
