Thai Green Beans
Submitted by Sally Weidner
Wed Jul 07 2010
Ingredients

5 cups green beans
1/2 onion (chopped)
2 TB ginger root (minced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tsp sesame oil
3 TB soy sauce
2 TB Thai sweet chili sauce
1 cup extra firm tofu

Preparation

Steam the green beans 8-10 minutes until bright green and lightly crunchy. In a frypan or wok saute onion, ginger root, and garlic in oil over medium heat until onion is tender, 3-5 minutes. Add soy sauce and Thai sweet chili sauce. Add crumbled tofu and cook 5 minutes. Add steamed beans and stir to coat with sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over rice and garnish with toasted slivered almonds (optional). This recipe is from the Simply in Season cookbook.

I didn't follow this recipe exactly. I like to slice my tofu thinly and fry to a golden brown before adding to my stir fry. Then when I add the tofu and green beans, I am only tossing to coat with sauce and heat slightly (maybe a minute or two) before serving. I also chopped up some hot peppers to add to the dish (I added then when I was sauteing the onion).
