Szechuan Style Green Beans And Tofu
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the green beans by trimming the ends and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, around 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and dried red chili peppers. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
-
Return the tofu to the skillet with the green beans. Drizzle the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the tofu and green beans to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
-
Once the dish is cooked to your liking, remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a pop of freshness and crunch. Serve the Szechuan Style Green Beans And Tofu hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
