Stir-fried Beancurd with Vegetables

For a number of years, I have gone to Bangkok to cook at the Oriental Hotel for a vegetarian festival and have been able to sample many vegetarian dishes from its Thai chef. Here is one of them, simply pairing beancurd with assertive spices and robustly flavoured vegetables in a colourful vegetable dish.

It may serve as a main course or an alternative vegetable side dish. To be strictly vegetarian, simply substitute light soy sauce for the fish sauce.
