  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil appears to shimmer, add the tofu cubes and stir them until they turn light brown along the sides. Transfer them onto a plate.

  4. Add the tofu and fish sauce and bring the curry to a boil. Cover the pan, stirring occasionally, to allow the potatoes and eggplant to become fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

  5. Serve sprinkled with the basil alongside a bowl of jasmine rice.
