Step-by-Step Instructions for Basil and Tofu Vermicelli
- Start by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the dry vermicelli or bean threads and let them soak for 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, coconut sugar, dark soy sauce, and sriracha. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Press the tofu to remove moisture, cut into cubes. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add oil, and fry tofu until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove tofu, add more oil if needed, and stir-fry the bell pepper, onion, and garlic for about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the soaked vermicelli noodles to the sautéed vegetables, pour the prepared sauce over and toss together. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in half of the basil leaves, remove from heat, and serve topped with remaining basil.

Notes
Pressing tofu enhances crispiness and flavor absorption. Adjust spice level to your preference.
