Press the firm tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a weight on top for about 10 minutes. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and stir-fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, lime juice, and chili (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the fresh Thai basil leaves and stir-fry for another minute until the basil is wilted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything well.
Serve the stir-fried tofu and vegetables over a bed of cooked brown rice. Enjoy your Thai Basil Tofu Stir-fry!
