Preparation

  1. Remove the tofu from its packaging, pat it dry thoroughly with a paper towel, and cut it into equal cubes. This step helps the tofu brown better and prevents excess water in the pan.

  2. If using frozen green beans, blanch them for 3-4 minutes in hot water, then drain them well. If fresh, boil them briefly until they remain slightly crisp.

  3. Heat a non-stick pan and add the sesame oil or olive oil. Add the tofu cubes and brown them for a few minutes, turning them gently on all sides.

  4. Add the green beans to the tofu, then add the soy sauce, pepper, and, optionally, a little granulated garlic. Stir gently so that the flavors are evenly distributed.

  5. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and cook for another minute over low heat. Serve warm as a light, yet satisfying meal.
