Snap peas, spring onions, and tofu make a quick and light spring dinner in this easy, flavorful stir-fry.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. finely shredded fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbsp. salted Chinese black beans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup rice wine, sake, dry white wine, or broth
  • 2 tsp. tamari or soy sauce
  • 8 oz. snap peas, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 12 oz. silken firm tofu, cut into bite-size pieces
  • Cilantro for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Heat a wok or large saute pan over high heat. Add oil and onion. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and black beans. Stir as everything comes to a sizzle. Pour in wine or broth and tamari. Cook, stirring, until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute.
  3. Add snap peas, cover, and cook until just barely tender, about 3 minutes. Gently mix in tofu, cover, and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately over rice and garnished with cilantro, if you like.
