Oriental Green Beans with Tofu
I just love asian flavors with vegetables. For a quick and easy dinner a stir fry is always an easy solution. This Oriental Green Beans with Tofu recipe is just a twist on the traditional stir fry. If you have ever tried fried green beans, then you will understand why I chose to go with the breaded option for this recipe. It is just flat out delicious! Pair up these beans with a few Veggie Spring Rolls and you got yourself an easy, healthy meal. You can change this recipe up with any veggies or add some heat by tossing in some crushed red chilis or sriracha sauce.

My hubby is not a big tofu fan, but this one passed the test. He ate it all up and went back for more.
Enjoy!

This looks really good. I really like tofu, but often don’t like some of the other ingredients the recipe calls for. Thanks for sharing.
