On Tonights Menu

This is recipe I just found that I definitely want to try tonight.  I'm going to alter it a little bit as I don't like to cook with onions, don't have fresh garlic or something called mirin.  Instead I think I'll use some crushed red pepper flakes for the spice and onion and garlic powder instead. As for the lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning should be fine. Click on the link here to get the "real" recipe!  Enjoy!

Spicy Green Beans and Tofu "Stir Fry"
Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds washed string green beans, tops and tails removed.
1 pound extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Lemon Pepper, Onion Powder and Garlic Powder and Ginger! appx 2 tsp each!
2 onions, sliced into long thin half moons
Directions:

Press the tofu on top of paper towels under a modest weight to press the water out of it, about 15 minutes. Put paper towels between the weight and the top of the tofu so water can be absorbed through top as well as out the bottom of the block.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1/2" cubes and place them in a tupperware-type container. Add 2 tablespoons of soy, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the garlic cloves, ginger, and hot sauce to the container. Close it up and shake gently until the tofu is completely covered with a well mixed marinade. Set aside and let soak for 20 minutes.
Put a tablespoon of oil in the bottom of a large non-non-stick pot or wok. Let it heat until touching the edge of an onion to the oil makes it sizzle violently.
Add the tofu and onions and stir well. Fry over high heat for about five minutes, stirring frequently. Add the green beans, lemon juice and soy and stir and toss well. Cover.
Let cook on high for 10 minutes, checking in every few minutes and stirring the pot. If it seems dry, add a tablespoon or two of water and keep cooking it covered to steam the beans.
After ten minutes take the beans and tofu mix off the heat and serve immediately.

I love tofu...I love tofu even more when it's fried crispy! I plan on making some brown rice and chicken and vegetable egg rolls to go along with it as well.  I'm just disappointed that it's only 11 am and I can't cook it yet!!!
Good as a main dish for 2-3 or as a side dish for 4-6.
