Pat the tofu cubes dry, then fry in 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides. Lift onto a plate.
Wipe out the wok, heat the remaining oil, and fry the vegan red curry paste for 2 minutes until fragrant and the oil begins to separate.
Add the green beans and stir-fry for 3 minutes until just tender.
Return the crispy tofu to the wok along with the vegetarian oyster sauce and palm sugar, and toss to coat evenly.
Add the shredded makrut lime leaves and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve at once.
