Tomato Crumbled Tofu w/Green Beans Stir-Fry

.

I don’t cook as often as I should, but whenever I do cook, I like making things that are easy or things that I make quite often.  This dish is something that I make quite often because it is easy, requires minimal ingredients, and my son actually doesn’t mind eating it.  It isn’t an exotic dish or anything, but it is a healthy one.

.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp plus 1/2 Tbsp of Safflower Oil (or any oil)

1/4 Cup of Onions (chopped)

1 12 oz package of Firm Tofu, drained and crumbled.

1/2 Tbsp of Paprika

1 1/2 Tbsp plus 1/2 Tbsp of Bragg Liquid Aminos

2 Clove of Garlic, chopped.

1 Medium Tomato, cut into small 1 inch pieces.

1 LB of Green Beans, cut into desired length.

1/2 Tbsp of Filtered Water

Preparation

In a large pan, put 1 Tbsp of oil in the pan and coat.  Carmelized  the onions in the pan on medium heat.  Next, put the crumbled tofu into the pan on medium-high heat.  Mix in the paprika and 1 1/2 Tbsp of Bragg into the tofu. Stir it occasionally until all the moisture is gone and it is lightly brown.

Push the tofu to the side of the pan.  I do this so I only have to use one pan, but can use another pan, if preferred. Add 1/2 Tbsp of oil into the pan with the garlic and toss around until the garlic is soften.  Add the   the tomato pieces and 1/2 Tbsp of Bragg into the pan. Stir it around until the tomato pieces are soften.  Then, mix the tofu and tomatoes together.  Last, add the green beans with 1/2 Tbsp of filtered water.  Stir the ingredients together and cover until the green beans are crisp and tender.  Serve with rice.

Enjoy! ♥

    Looks very tasty indeed, think I would have it with brown rice but would not look as good. .What is Bragg Liquid Aminos?????

    Braggs is a popular health food brand. The liquid amino is a substitute for conventional soy sauce. Go to Bragg’s website for all their products & info: http://www.bragg.com

    You could also use soy sauce, tamari sauce, or just use sea salt instead.
