Directions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a little water and stir it into the mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer. Return the tofu to the skillet and mix gently. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh basil or chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
