Ingredients
For 2 servings- 280 g firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

Method
Toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until coated.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tofu until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes, then remove.
Add the remaining oil and the green beans and cook for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
