Quick Tofu and Green Bean Stir Fry

This quick and easy tofu and green bean stir-fry is the ultimate weeknight dinner. I’ve been intentionally adding more satiating, high-protein meals to my rotation so I stay fuller for longer, and this simple plant-based recipe checks every single box.

Ingredients

270g Tofu Block

200g Green Beans

2 Garlic Cloves

1 Brown Onion

1 tbsp cornflour

30ml Soy Sauce

15ml Rice Wine Vinegar

Optional: Edamame

This recipe is perfect for two people.

Method

Step 1

Cut the tofu into small cubes and add to a bowl with the cornflour and half the soy sauce. Mix together until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large pan with matching lid with some olive oil on a medium/high and add your tofu. Once crisp on one side, turn over until all tofu is crispy.

Step 3

Whilst the tofu is crisping:

  • Trim your green beans
  • Thickly slice your onion
  • Slice your garlic

Step 4

Once tofu is crisp, remove pan from heat and set aside. Bring pan back to heat on medium, add some olive oil and add the beans, onion and garlic.

Cook for 5-8 mins until onion is starting to soften.

Step 5

After 5-8 minutes, add a splash of water to the pan and cover for 3-5 minutes, until green beans are nice and soft.

Step 6

Once beans have softened, add rice wine vinegar and the remaining soy sauce to the pan and stir through.

Add the tofu and if using, edamame, and mix together until warmed through.

Step 7

Serve with noodles or rice and enjoy!
