Tofu, Bean and Herb Stir Fry Recipe

Ingredients

• 250g/9oz tofu, cubed
• 2 tbsp soy oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 300g/10½oz green beans
• 3 tbsp mixed finely chopped herbs such as thyme, parsley, chives or chervil
• 4 spring onions/scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp tamari soy sauce
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Rice or noodles, to serve

Method

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan or wok over a high heat until hot. Add the tofu and garlic and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the tofu absorbs the flavour of the garlic. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tofu and drain on kitchen paper.

2. Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the green beans and fry over a medium heat for 4 minutes, or until the beans are lightly cooked. Add the herbs, spring onions/scallions and tamari and stir-fry for a further 1 minute.

3. Return the tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute until the flavours have merged. Season with pepper and serve immediately with rice or noodles.
