Szechuan Green Beans and Tofu (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
You can also make it without tofu or use other protein, such as chicken, beef or shrimp. Ready in 35 mins. Ingredients: • 7 1⁄2 ounces tofu (I used organic sprouted tofu) • 12 ounces green beans, trimmed • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce • 1 tablespoon sake or 1 tablespoon water • 1 -2 teaspoon hot chili paste • 2 teaspoons raw sugar • 1 tablespoon sesame oil • 1 garlic clove, minced • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced • salt • pepper
Method • A few hours before cooking, place a tofu block in a bowl and put a weight on top of it to squeeze out water as much as possible. • Cook green beans in salted boiling water for about 3 minutes. • Transfer beans to a colander and run cold water. Cut them in half. • Dice tofu into 1/2 inch cubes. • In a small bowl, mix tamari soy sauce, sake or 1 Tbsp water, chili paste, and sugar to make a sauce. Set aside. • In a sauté pan, heat sesame oil and sauté garlic and ginger for a minute. • Add beans and tofu and sauté until heated. • Add the sauce and sauté until the sauce is bubbly. • Season with salt and pepper. • Infuse love and serve!
