Five Spice Green Bean & Tofu Stir-Fry
10 mins prepServes 3
A nostalgic dish featuring Five Spice Bean Cake, green beans, and flavorful seasonings that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This easy stir-fry is perfect for a quick meal and brings together the classic tastes I grew up with.
1: Heat 1/2 tbsp of the oil in a frypan over medium high. Add in the sliced bean cake/tofu and fry until golden on both sides. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
2: Add the remaining oil into the pan and heat over high heat. Add in the green beans and fry for 2 minutes until slightly seared on the outside.
3: Add in the ginger and garlic and fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in the water, soy sauce, stock powder, brown sugar, five spice, and star anise. Stir together, pop the lid on and cook for 2-3 minutes or until green beans have softened.
4: Remove the lid, add in the five spice tofu and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Most of the liquid should have reduced by now.
5: Garnish and serve with rice.
