Ingredients

• 200 g firm tofu, patted dry and cut into 2 cm cubes
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 300 g long beans or green beans, cut into 5 cm pieces
• 1 tbsp Vegetarian stir-fry sauce (mushroom "oyster" sauce)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 3 tbsp Water
• ¼ tsp White pepper
• 1 Red chilli, sliced (optional)

Method

1. Fry the tofu in the oil in a wok over medium-high heat for 5–6 min, turning, until golden on most sides. Push to one side.
2. Add the garlic to the oil and fry for 20 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the beans and toss for 1 minute, then add the water, cover and steam for 2 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
4. Add the vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper and chilli and toss everything for 1 minute until glossy.
5. Serve hot with rice.

Tips

• Keep the beans crisp-tender; overcooked long beans turn dull and soft.
• Soy sauce contains wheat; use tamari and a gluten-free vegetarian stir-fry sauce if needed.
