String Beans and Tofu in Soy Sauce

in Foodies Bee Hive2 years ago (edited)

Good day!

Today is cooking day again for my family. I am very glad that my husband has a little vegetable garden near our house and today I got to cook a dish from one of my husband's vegetables, String Beans. String Beans are a versatile vegetable, they can be cooked in many ways (as a main ingredient) and can be added to a lot more dishes.

The dish that I am going to cook for today is called "String Beans and Tofu in Soy Sauce". This dish is very easy to prepare and a lot easier to cook because you only need to sautee it then season it and then let it boil until it is cooked. But to give texture to the dish I first have to fry the Tofu. The Tofu can be added without frying it which taste tastes exactly the same. Frying the Tofu gives some chewy experience to the Tofu and they will not be easily torn apart during boiling if they are fried before adding it to the dish.

Ingredients

  • String Beans (about 250 grams)
  • Tofu (300 grams)
  • Onion (half slice of a medium onion)
  • Garlic (1 clove, small)
  • Soy Sauce (about 5 tbsp)
  • White Vinegar (about 1-2 tbsp)

Preparing the ingredients

I cut the String Beans into small sections

I sliced the Tofu into cubes

I peeled and sliced the onion
