- Drain the tofu. Place block on paper towels on plate. Top with towels. Press with a one-lb. weight for about 30 min. Cut tofu into 1 x 1 x 1/2-inch pcs (slice once lengthwise, then grid 4x3).
- Start the rice in the steamer. Rinse, trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch long pcs. Cook the beans while the rice cooks. Tips: If the green beans are high sugar, steam or possibly blanch them for about 5 min or possibly till crisp-tender and tasty. If using Kentucky beans, cook for about 15 min or possibly till tender and tasty. Shock the beans in cool water. Drain well.
- Meanwhile prepare the vegetables and set aside. Cut the onions. Cut the tomatoes. Cut an equal amount of red bell pepper.
- Combine broth with bottled kung pao sauce.
- STIR FRY: Heat a wok or possibly large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add in oil. Add in tofu and brown lightly, turning gently for about 5 min total time. Remove to a small bowl. Pat with paper towel if needed. Toss with oyster sauce, about 1 Tbsp., to coat.
- Reheat the wok. Add in 1 tbs of oil only if needed. Saute/fry the onions till starting to turn translucent/soft (2 min). Add in the green beans, tomatoes, red bell pepper and garlic. Stir fry till the green beans taste slightly caramelized (2 to 4 min). Add in the diluted kung pao sauce. Add in the tofu. Stir fry, tossing gently, till the tofu is heated. Serve at once on jasmine rice.
- Description: "served with rice"
- NOTES : A wonderful vegetarian meal which's comfort food to me and easy. Even "Smo-phewie" Bob loved it. The sauce was delicious. A nice warm and tangy blend of oyster and kung pao sauces - sweetened with tomatoes and red bells. Convenient to make: we usually have these ingredients in the house. Shelf-stable tofu; dozens of jars on the refrigerator shelf.
- Leeann's recipe was nearly identical. We mixed the onions (white and green); split the helping of tomatoes with red bell pepper. She didn't mention pressing the tofu. She heated the oyster sauce in the wok with the tofu - that was too messy for me. I used 1 Tbsp. less oil. We tested to serve two with 3/4 c. cooked each. We wanted more. I used the double-decker steamer for the rice and beans. Recommend this to anyone who wants to try tofu for first time.
