PREP: Drain and press the excess liquid out of tofu using a paper towel. Then, cut tofu into roughly ¾-inch cubes. Trim green beans (if necessary) and mince garlic.*If serving with a grain (like rice or quinoa), start to cook that now so that it's ready when the stir-fry is!
MAKE SAUCE: Add cornstarch and 2 tsp of water to a small bowl. Whisk to create a slurry. Then, add all other sauce ingredients and whisk again to combine. Set aside.
COOK TOFU: Heat 1 Tbsp of avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once hot, add in cubes of tofu. Season with salt and pepper, then allow to cook (undisturbed) for 5 minutes. Then, flip each cube to the other side. Let those cook for an additional 3 minutes, then toss to finish. Remove from pan, setting aside in a clean bowl.
COOK GREEN BEANS: To the same pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp of avocado oil. Add green beans and minced garlic. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
COMBINE: Lower the heat and add tofu back to the pan. Whisk sauce once more, then pour overtop. Toss to combine the green beans and tofu in the sauce, until well-coated. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.
SERVE: You may enjoy this recipe on its own, or serve over a grain like rice, quinoa, or noodles!
