Instructions

1. 1

   Press 400 grams of extra-firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry.

2. 2

   Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering, then flash-fry the tofu cubes for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, removing them with a slotted spoon and setting aside.

3. 3

   In the same wok, reduce heat to medium-high and add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of Prik King curry paste, stirring continuously for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add 200 grams of trimmed fresh green beans to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender-crisp.

5. 5

   Return the flash-fried tofu to the wok, then pour in 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of grated palm sugar, tossing everything gently to coat evenly.

6. 6

   Stir in 3 finely shredded kaffir lime leaves and 1/2 cup of packed Thai basil leaves, cooking for an additional 1 minute until the basil wilts.

7. 7

   Serve the Flash-Fried Tofu Pad Prik King with Crispy Green Beans immediately as a delicious and authentic Thai dinner.
