Ingredients

  • 16 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and halved lengthwise and/or fresh snow Pea pods, trimmed
  • Hot cooked rice or rice noodles
  • Lime wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Cut tofu lengthwise into four 1-inch thick slices. Lay tofu slices on a double layer of paper towels. Top with another double layer of paper towels. Weigh down with a plate topped with cans to remove excess water from tofu. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Meanwhile, stir together the water, hoisin, soy sauce, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, if using.

In an extra-large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu. Cook, without stirring until tofu begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook 4 to 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally until tofu is golden brown on all sides.

Transfer tofu to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add beans; cook 4 minutes or until barely tender. Return tofu to skillet. Add hoisin mixture; bring to boiling, stirring to coat. Serve with rice and lime wedges.
