Preparation
Step 1
In a nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil. Add the tofu and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until crisp, 5 minutes. Drain.
In a bowl, whisk the stock, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chile paste, soy sauce and sugar.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic and Thai chile and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant, 2 minutes.
