Method
Pat the tofu dry, cut into cubes, finely chop the chillies and garlic, and pick the holy basil leaves.
Whisk together the light soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and palm sugar in a small bowl.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat and fry the tofu for 5 minutes until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and stir-fry the garlic and chillies for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the noodles and remaining oil, and toss for 4 minutes until tender.
Return the tofu to the wok, add the sauce and cherry tomatoes, and toss for 2 minutes until evenly coated.
Remove from the heat and stir through the holy basil until wilted.
