Advice

Do not add the basil too early because it should hit the hot pan only at the end to stay fragrant and vivid. 🌿
β€Ž
Why it works πŸ’‘
β€Ž
The dish works because crisp tofu catches the salty sweet glaze while garlic, chili, and holy basil build the intense aromatic finish that makes pad krapow so addictive. 🌢️

β€Ž
Add 100 g green beans, cut small (1 cup / 3.5 oz), for extra crunch and a more substantial stir fry. πŸ«›
