Chilli basil tofu

It’s my go to when we have Thai and I’ve tried many times to replicate my dish of choice and this is the closest to finding the taste I’ve been looking for. I’ve taken inspiration for this one from The Heathy Maven (thank you!) but made a few tweaks based on what I had available in my kitchen and supermarket and my own tastes (I love chilli) - this also makes for the perfect #fakeaway.

Then add another tbsp oil to the pan over a medium heat and add all of the veg. Cook for a minute before adding 2 tbsp water, cover with a lid and steam for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and cook on a high heat for another minute or two until the veg starts to soften.
