    This is a simple sauteed dish. The ingredients are 2 pieces of tofu, 1 pound of french beans, 1 medium size onion, half a clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cooking oil.

    Slice the tofu in desired size. Crush the garlic and slice the onions in minced size. Wash and clean the french beans. Fry the tofu until golden brown. Set aside. Fry the garlic until golden brown then add the onions. When the onions are wilted, add the french beans and the soy sauce. You can add a teaspoon of butter if you wish. When the french beans are starting to wilt, add the fried tofu. Stir for 1 miinute and that’s it.

    Your tofu french bean recipe sounds good. I usually fry my tofu till outside is golden brown or at last partly golden and eat it with sprinkling soy sauce and have rice with it. Sometimes I get too hungry to get tofu golden brown, so I just make the heat higher so as to get the tofu to start browning. I love fried tofu. Now adding the other ingredients, will make fried tofu a healthier dish. Thanks for the recipe.

    I like the tofu french bean dish as both are my favorite, though french bean is not really cheap here. With tofu, the simplest way we make is just to steam the whole block and add some soy sauce to serve. Some might also add some fried garlic or other ingredients on top of the tofu, but I usually keep it plain.
