Serves: 4
Ingredients
|
1 block (14 oz.) extra firm tofu, drained and pressed, and cut into 1” cubes |
12 oz. green beans, trimmed and cut diagonally |
Method of Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and garlic.
-
Add tofu cubes to the mixture and turn to coat the tofu on all sides.
-
Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and gently mix until evenly coated.
-
Place tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure that no pieces are touching. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning tofu over halfway through or until lightly browned.
-
While tofu is roasting, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen and cook according to package instructions, about 3 minutes, until the noodles are just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again.
-
Heat a wok or large deep skillet on high heat. When hot, add ½ tablespoon of oil, toss in the green beans and season with salt to taste. Cook, tossing the beans, for 2-3 minutes, until charred. Remove the beans from the wok and set aside.
-
Heat the same wok or skillet over high heat, and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil, along with scallions and ginger. Allow the scallions and ginger to sizzle for 20-30 seconds, to release their aromas, then stir-fry for 23 minutes until scallions have a nice scorch.
-
Add the green beans and noodles to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine, just until the noodles are heated through.
-
To serve, evenly divide tofu and noodles with green beans among 4 bowls, and top with any optional garnishes.
