This stir-fry dish uses just a few ingredients, but the flavor is wonderfully complex. The Thai Lemon Grass and Chile Soup and the Bangkok Noodles make tasty accompaniments. (See separage recipes.) Heat wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add oil and when hot, add garlic and chilies and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes. Add tofu and stir-fry until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add soy sauce and sugar and mix well. Add beans and cook just until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add basil and mix thoroughly. Transfer to warm platter and serve hot.
