Gluten Free Stir-Fry With Tofu, Green Beans and Tomatoes

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

1. Heat a large wok or nonstick skillet over high heat (it is easier to cook tofu in a nonstick pan). Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and then the tofu. Cook the tofu for about 2 minutes, then carefully turn it over and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes more.

2. Add the oyster sauce and gently simmer, making sure the tofu doesn't break into pieces, for about 2 minutes. Remove the tofu and place on a platter.

3. Lower the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, the beans, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the stock, cover, and cook for 1 minute more.

4. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring, until all the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chili sauce and stir until well mixed, about 1 minute. Return the tofu to the pan and gently mix together before serving.
