This is a super-easy recipe to make, especially when you have that half-block of tofu lingering in your refrigerator, but even if you don't, it's an entrée worth buying ingredients for. Tofu is sautéed in oil and then mixed with a simple Thai basil sauce that's spicy with cooling herbal notes. Serve it for dinner or bring it along to work or school as an easy lunch with noodles, quinoa, or rice.
