Thai Basil Stir Fry Tofu 【塔香五香豆干】

The Thai Basil I planted this year have been flowering non-stop, so I have no choice but to keep cutting the tip to keep it growing.

That also means to keep using thai basil in my cooking! This time I use my favourite cooking ingredient -- tofu! The tofu I choose for this recipe is the smoked hard tofu, the texture is chewy and somewhat meat-liked, good substitute for meat indeed.

院子里的九层塔猛开花，时不时就要剪一把想办法做了吃。这次做了个塔香豆干下粥，特别鲜香好吃.喜欢豆制品的朋友可以试试看。

3-4 hard tofu （slice into long stick）
2 cup thai basil leaves
