Method

Pat tofu dry before crumbling; wash beans and remove their ends.
Heat oil over medium heat; fry garlic and chili for 20 seconds, then add beans and water.
Cover for 5 minutes, then add tofu, soy sauce and sugar; stir-fry uncovered for 4–5 minutes.
Confirm the beans are tender with no raw center; fold in basil and turn off when wilted.
