For the tofu
- 7 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into ½-inch planks

Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.

- 1 cup fresh thai basil leaves
For the peanut dipping sauce
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tipUse the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter. - 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, toss the tofu planks with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil and let sit for 5 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden on the second side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch strips.
