Method for Stir-Fried Vegetables and Tofu, 'Pad Phak Taohu'
Take two cakes of hard tofu, and cut them in quarters, then divide the squares in half diagonally, then divide each piece in half "height-wise" to yield 32 bite sized pieces. Place a little peanut oil in a hot pan and stir fry the tofu pieces until they turn golden brown. Next sautee the garlic, ginger and chilis (if used) in a little oil, and then add the soy sauces and then all the other ingredients except the bean sprouts. Stir fry for about a minute, then add the cornstarch and continue to stir fry for a further minute.
Add the bean sprouts, stir very briefly to warm them, but not cook them, and then serve with Thai jasmine rice.
