The ingredients needed to make Tofu in coconut/cashew sauce & fried green beans:
  1. Take 14 oz extra firm tofu (1 brick)
  2. Get 12 oz green beans, washed & cut in 2” pieces
  3. Make ready 1/2 cup toasted cashews (unsalted)
  4. Prepare 14 oz unsweetened coconut milk
  5. Prepare 2 ” ginger, peeled & grated
  6. Take 2 garlic cloves, minced
  7. Take 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  8. Prepare 2 tbsp molasses
  9. Take 2 tbsp dried scallions
  10. Prepare 3 tbsp oil (avoid olive oil this time)
  11. Get 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  12. Make ready to taste salt & pepper

Combine soy milk, peanut butter, coconut milk, and tahini together in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the tofu is done baking, add it to the peanut sauce and stir to coat. The rice should also be done by now. Serve immediately with chopped cilantro, peanuts and perhaps some Swap unsweetened cashew, almond or soy milk for the full fat coconut milk if you want a lighter, less rich dish.

Steps to make Tofu in coconut/cashew sauce & fried green beans:
  1. Halve the tofu brick horizontally and place on paper towels to absorb as much water as possible. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan on high heat, until it glistens. Season the tofu on all sides with salt / pepper and fry at least 4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Be careful not to move it except for flipping, to avoid it from breaking. Reserve.
  2. Add 1 tbsp oil to the same pan and sauté the green beans for 3-4 minutes, or until blisters appear. Place in a bowl and reserve.
  3. One more tbsp oil into the pan, and this time add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté until fragrant (30 seconds, more or less). Add coconut milk, soy sauce, molasses. Turn down heat to low and reduce the sauce to half, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes syrupy (this will take some 12-15 minutes).
  4. Add cashews and cook in the sauce for 2 minutes. Cube the tofu and add to the sauce, mixing carefully to coat the cubes without breaking them.
  5. To serve, toss the green beans with rice wine and dried scallions. Serve the whole thing in a bowl with your favorite starch (we used steamed basmati rice). Yummers!

The rice should also be done by now. Serve immediately with chopped cilantro, peanuts and perhaps some Swap unsweetened cashew, almond or soy milk for the full fat coconut milk if you want a lighter, less rich dish. The tofu will naturally lose some of its crispiness the longer it sits in the curry sauce. If you prefer the tofu crispy, serve and eat it right away after adding it.
