GREEN BEANS & TOFU WITH CRUNCHY THAI PEANUT SAUCE
Another wonderful vegetarian recipe from Mollie Katzen's cookbook "Vegetable Heaven." This is one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu, and you get the added benefits of vegetables and flavorful sauce. Keep in mind that the fresher and firmer the green beans, the better this will taste. Tastes best served with basmati or jasmine rice.

Steps:
- For the stir-fry:.
- Place the peanuts in a blender, and grind briefly until they form a coarse meal. Set aside.
- Heat a medium-sized heavy skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and the ginger and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the crushed peanuts and the lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the peanuts are lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- As the peanut mixture is cooking, heat a large, nonstick wok or deep skillet. Drizzle in a little oil. When it is very hot, add the tofu and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes to let the water evaporate, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with lemon juice, reduce the heat, and cook for a few minutes longer. Transfer the tofu to the pan containing the peanut mixture and set aside.
- Scrape out the wok or skillet if necessary, and return to the heat. Let it get very hot, then add the remaining scant tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans. (The pan should sizzle when they hit.) Stir-fry over high heat for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a small amount of red pepper flakes.
- Stir-fry just a few minutes longer, or until the beans are divinely tender-crisp (mostly crisp, but just tender enough). Add the peanut-tofu mixture and toss everything together. Serve right away, over rice.
- For the peanut sauce:.
- Combine peanut butter and water in a bowl; mash and mix until uniform. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until combined. Add a little more water it you prefer it thinner. Salt to taste. Serve warm or room temperature, drizzled over hot green beans.

Do you want to know a secret? This is my favorite thing to eat when I'm alone in the house (rare) in front of the TV watching soap operas.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu in 1- 1/2 inch square pieces.

- Make a paste (with such small quantities, a mortar and pestle are probably the easiest method) of the garlic, coriander, 3 seeded chili peppers, and salt.
- Add the vinegar and mix.
- Dissolve the 1/4 cup sugar in 1/4 cup hot water and add it to the paste along with the 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts.
- Mix well (the food processor helps here) and put it in a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with coriander leaves and red pepper flakes.
- Put the 2 cup of peanut oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Deep-fry the tofu in hot (360 degrees Fahrenheit) oil for 5 minutes, until a light gold.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Place the tofu on a serving plate and the bowl of peanut sauce next to it.
- Use the peanut sauce as a dip.
- Serve either hot or at room temperature.
PAN-FRIED TOFU WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
A tasty snack or appetizer. Tofu cubes are very crispy outside, yet warm and soft inside. Sort of like Asian "french fries". And i simple love the sauce, even used it as salad dressing sometimes!

Steps:
- Drain tofu (i pressed gently between paper towels).
- Cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss with cornstarch, coating the cubes.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
- Heat some oil (about 3-4 tablespoon, just ensure pan is coated).
- Fry the tofu cubes in batches, making sure all sides are lightly browned.
- Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
- Sauce: Heat the milk in small saucepan (you can make sauce in microwave too).
- Add peanut butter, stirring well.
- Add other seasonings, according to personal taste (I love spicy food, so i added LOTS of chilli flakes!). If you use coconut milk, add 1/2 - 1 tsp of lime juice too - it will be great!
- Serve hot, as a snack or appetizer. Sometimes i serve them with a sweet Chinese dessert: Green Bean Soup.
