Steps:
- Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 24 pieces and gently press between paper towels to remove the excess liquid; set aside 5 minutes to drain. Put the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then drain. Combine the Sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir to combine.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Return the tofu to the skillet along with the Sriracha mixture and cook, stirring, until well coated, about 30 more seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the torn basil.
- Divide the rice among plates and top with the stir-fry. Top with the peanuts, a few small basil leaves and more Sriracha.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and press it between your hands to remove excess liquid. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden and crispy on all sides.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, in a separate, large nonstick sauté pan, combine the garlic, ginger, and chiles and toast over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until they are aromatic, stirring constantly so they dont burn. Add the green beans and 3/4 cup water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until the beans are cooked but still crunchy. (Cook them for about 3 minutes if you like your vegetables al dente.)
- Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, arrowroot, and 1/4 cup water to make a slurry and whisk with a fork until no lumps remain. Pour the slurry into the sauté pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the tofu and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce coats the tofu and beans. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Serve warm.
GREEN BEANS WITH TOFU AND TAHINI DRESSING
In Japan this is known as "shira-ae" and is made with ground roasted white sesame seeds. I have subbed tahini for that! Super delicious, amazing umami, and sooo good for you!

TOFU AND GREEN BEANS WITH CHILE CRISP
I love to cook with chile crisp, a fiery hot-pepper condiment born in the Sichuan Province of China that generally relies on fried shallots and garlic for texture, and on any number of umami-rich special ingredients for distinction and oomph. It's magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish. Here, I use it as the base of a marinade and topping for baked tofu and green beans, with black vinegar, a little sesame oil, a wisp of honey, minced garlic and ginger, along with scallions and cilantro. But you could use the mixture on a mitten and have a very nice meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a baking dish or casserole, whisk together the chile crisp, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, scallions and cilantro.
- Add the tofu slices to the dish, and coat them with the sauce, then allow to marinate for as long as it takes to heat the oven and trim the green beans.
- Add the green beans to a large sheet pan, then drizzle the neutral oil on top and toss to coat. Slide the green beans to the sides of the pan, and arrange the slices of tofu in an even layer in the center of the pan. Pour remaining marinade over the tofu, and place in oven.
- Roast until the green beans start to blister, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and extra chile crisp on the side.
AIR FRYER CHILI-GARLIC TOFU WITH GREEN BEANS
Air fryers aren't just for French fries, and this recipe showcases their versatility with a stir-fry-like dish that uses just a fraction of the typical amount of oil. Cleanup is a breeze since any splatters are kept in the fryer, and everything is cooked in about 30 minutes. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender and soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the warming chili sauce. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu, wrap each block in several layers of paper towel and set on a large plate. Place a heavy pan on top (cast-iron works great for this) to press excess liquid from the tofu; allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice each tofu block into six 1/2-inch-thick slices. Drain the large plate of any excess liquid, wipe dry and place the tofu slices back on the plate. Put 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the slices with the oil. Season both sides of the slices with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Lay the tofu slices flat in the basket of the air fryer and cook, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F again.
- Toss the green beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook the beans, tossing halfway through, until tender and blistered, about 10 minutes.
- While the beans cook, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, mirin, brown sugar, chili-garlic paste, cornstarch, garlic and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced, thickened and shiny, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer the beans to a large serving plate and shingle the tofu slices on top. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu and beans and garnish with the scallions.

Steps:
- Halve tofu horizontally and then crosswise to make 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 2 triangles. Press tofu as directed on page 111.

- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add half-and-half and 1/2 cup water; bring to a gentle simmer. Add tofu and green beans. Cover; cook until beans are bright green, about 2 minutes. Uncover; add tomatoes. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve over rice.
GREEN BEANS AND TOFU SKINS WITH RICE STICKS
This light-on-the-noodles, heavy-on-the-vegetables dish comes together in under a half hour. Lots of fresh ginger and dried Thai chiles provide plenty of liveliness, a perfect counterpoint to the warm earthiness of the dark sesame oil. Never heard of tofu skins? They are the sheets that form on the surface of warmed soy milk, and you can find them in Asian specialty markets. They're tender and egg-y, and like tofu, absorb the flavors of the dish they're in.

Steps:
- Put rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. If you are using dried tofu, put in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Soak skins until pliable, about 10 minutes, then drain well and cut into long, wide ribbons. (If using fresh, simply cut them.)
- Put peanut oil and half the sesame oil in a deep skillet or wok and turn heat to medium-high. Add ginger and a couple of chiles if you like, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until ginger is soft, just a minute. Add beans and 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring frequently, until softened a bit but still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add tofu skins and another spoonful or two of water. Cook, stirring frequently, until skins are heated through and beans are done, a couple of minutes. Drain noodles, toss them in, and continue to cook, until noodles are heated through and mixed well with remaining ingredients; add a little more water if necessary to keep mixture moist. Drizzle with soy sauce and remaining sesame oil, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.

TOFU GREEN BEAN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE
Repeat after me: Don't scramble your eggs, scramble your tofu! This splendid breakfast dish is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat tofu. Oh, what's that? You hate tofu? This is the dish that has converted all of my tofu-skeptic friends. It's based on a classic Northern Indian breakfast my dad remembers from his childhood, originally involving crumbled paneer sauteed with spices and green beans and usually eaten atop toast. When my parents immigrated to America and my dad was craving this dish, tofu was my mom's workaround after not being able to find paneer anywhere. What she ended up discovering was how wonderfully light and bouncy the crumbled tofu gets, and how nicely that complements the crunch of the green beans. This dish is essentially a doppelganger for scrambled eggs, thanks to the yellow color of the turmeric and the vaguely eggy, umami-like taste of the chaat masala. But tofu does a far superior job than eggs at really absorbing the flavor of the spices-plus, it's a lot harder to overcook tofu.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the cumin seeds and cook until they turn a medium shade of brown, about 1 minute max. Swirl the turmeric into the oil, then add the green beans, salt and chile. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the green beans are just barely soft (they should still retain a bit of firmness), 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu and mix well, then increase the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the tofu has softened slightly and turned bright yellow from the turmeric, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the lime juice and chaat masala. Taste and adjust the lime juice, chaat masala and salt before serving if needed.
STIR-FRIED BEANS WITH TOFU AND CHILES
This crunchy, colorful stir-fry has an added kick from serrano chiles. I can't resist buying an array of beans when they're at summer farmers' markets. I love to mix yellow and green beans in this crunchy, colorful stir-fry, but don't hesitate to make it if all you can find is green. For added kick and color I threw in some serrano chiles from my garden that had ripened to bright red. Thai chiles will work too.

Steps:
- Drain and dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl and cornstarch slurry in another. Have all ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the wok or pan and swirl the pan so that the oil coats the sides, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Swirl in remaining oil, add garlic, ginger and chiles and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add beans and white parts of the scallions, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add salt and sugar, toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Return tofu to the wok along with scallion greens, cilantro and cornstarch slurry. Stir together just until lightly glazed, and remove from heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.
