Inspired by Leuwam’s pickled grapes, I decided to give this pickling thing a try. You guys! I want to pickle everything now. Since this was my very first time pickling anything, I thought I’d play it safe and try some simpler recipes. A little googling and a chat with Liz left me [...]]]>

Inspired by Leuwam’s pickled grapes, I decided to give this pickling thing a try. You guys! I want to pickle everything now. Since this was my very first time pickling anything, I thought I’d play it safe and try some simpler recipes. A little googling and a chat with Liz left me with two recipes that felt pretty manageable. Of course, I can never leave well enough alone, so here are my adapted versions!

We had these with a side of mashed potatoes, and it was perfect! It would also be great over rice or noodles.

  • 1 block firm tofu, cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2T mushroom (or your favorite) soy sauce
  • 2T sesame oil
  • 2c green beans, cut into bite-sized pieces and stems removed
  • 1/4c vidalia onion, diced
  • hoisin sauce (optional)

In a bowl, toss the tofu with the garlic and soy sauce. Set that aside to marinate while you prep everything else.

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok and add the tofu mixture and onions. Cook on medium high until the tofu starts to brown, then add the green beans. Saute for a few minutes more, until the green beans turn bright green and soften just slightly.

Serve! Drizzle some hoisin sauce over the top, if you like.

Eight Little Green Beans

It may not have been many beans, but it was satisfying to munch on them while Dave, Ally, and I watched Alias. If you think I’m proud now, wait until the squash and cucumber plants start producing!
