Ingredients

Tofu

  • 1 pound firm tofu frozen and thawed
  • 3 tablespoons lite soy sauce optional gluten-free tamari
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red onion small, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lite soy sauce optional gluten-free tamari
  • 2 tablespoons Szechuan sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

Tofu

  • Once the tofu is thawed, cut it into 1/2 inch thick slices; squares or triangles will work. Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Lay the tofu in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade overtop. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the tofu about 5 minutes per side, until firm. It should have nice grill marks on both sides.

Vegetables

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Blanche for 2 minutes; drain and rinse with ice-cold water.
  • Combine the corn starch with a teaspoon of cold water. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, followed by the green beans, red peppers, and onions. Add the soy sauce (optional Tamari) and Szechuan sauce and stir quickly for about 1 minute. Add the corn starch mixture and stir until thickened.
  • Serve the tofu with the veggies.
