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.
