Ingredients
1 tbsp. veg. oil
4 garlic cloves
2 small fresh red or green chili peppers, seeded & minced
1 lb extra-firm tofu, drained, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tbsp. tamari/soy sauce
1/2 c. fresh basil, chopped
1/2 pound fresh green beans, (trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch
pieces)
1 tsp. sugar
NOTE:
Press
tofu with paper towels to remove as much packing water moisture
as possible. This makes room for the tofu to absorb whatever
marinade you are using, and you'll be shocked at how much
more flavorful the tofu will be.
