Tofu and Green Beans Stir-Fry Recipe

Serves: 1 to 2 people
Prep time: 12 to 15 minutes

Ingredients

Method

  1. In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain and set aside. Cut tofu into 1-by-1-inch pieces, then set aside.

  2. In a wok or pan, bring avocado oil to medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until just slightly golden.

  3. Add green beans, tofu, and soy sauce to the same pan. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with jasmine rice.

Make It Your Own!
