Sautéed tofu and vegetables with chilli sauce and sweet basil.

Time : 16 minutes






Ingredient for one person

Rice
Tofu
1 piece of courgette
1 onion
1 or 2 garlic cloves
3 chillies (if they are not too strong, if you use Thai chilli, one is enough according to my level of tolerance)
Fresh sweet basil
A few garden orache leaves or spinach if you can´t pick any garden orache.
Salt
1 small piece of ginger
1/2 tea spoon of curry powder (turmeric, coriander, cumin)
1 small piece of cucumber
Some lettuce or other kind of greens
Oil

Preparation

While boiling the rice, grind the chilli(es), garlic and ginger in a mortar, add some oil (olive oil or whatever you like) and salt.

Slice all vegetables and the tofu, stir fry it first and when it becomes a bit crusty, and the courgette and onion, fry a few minutes.
When the vegetables are a bit soft, add the garden orache, chilli paste with the sweet basil (I use the leaves and stems), some salt if needed, quickly mix, fry two or three minutes.

Serve with some cucumber slivers, lettuce and a dressing you like.
