Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic finely. Cut the white onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions into 1 inch lengths. Slice the tofu into bite-sized cubes or rectangles.
Deep Fry the Tofu: Add approximately two inches of oil to a pot and heat over medium heat until the oil is 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and fry for approximately 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the hot oil and allow to drain on a paper towel.
Stir Fry the Tofu: Heat a tablespoon of oil over high heat in a pan or wok. Add the garlic and stir fry quickly until fragrant. Then add the roasted chili paste and allow to cook until it becomes saucy.¹Next add the onion and bell pepper pieces and allow to cook until they are slightly tender. Add the deep fried tofu pieces, and coat in the sauce. Finally, add the green onions, stir to incorporate, and take off the heat.
Serve: Serve the Thai Tofu Stir Fry with fresh jasmine rice. It is best when freshly made, but can also be heated up for serving if you have leftovers.

If your Roasted Chili Paste is thick, you may need to add a few tablespoons of water to encourage it to become more of a sauce.
