Tofu & Long Bean Stir Fry
This is an Indonesian dish that is quick to prepare. This dish also appears in Thailand, China, and I would assume other Asian cuisines. On my to cook list. If you are not sure what a long bean is, it is a green been, but long, 1-3 feet long.
Ingredients
- 300 grams long beans, cut into 1 to 1½ inch pieces, (10 oz)
- 250 grams firm tofu, cut into ¾ inch cubes, (9 oz)
- 5 cloves garlic, smashed and thinly sliced
- 3 shallots, sliced
- ¾ cup cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- hot cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a wok or large non stick pan, heat the oil on medium high heat, when hot but not smoking, carefully add the tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu to paper towels to drain.
- Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan, heat and stir fry the garlic and shallots until fragrant.
- Add the long beans, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, stir fry until the beans are cooked and tender.
- Add the tofu, mix and stir fry for 30 seconds to a minute to warm the tofu up.
