(If using fresh beans, you'd..."

"I got this recipe from a local grocery store. It is very simple, and lends itself to many variations and additions. The peanut sauce is nice as-is, but I added some chili-garlic sauce to it to give it some heat. I like my tofu very firm and crisp, so I drained it very very well before putting this together."

"Why go out for Chinese food when it is this easy? Serve with rice or Asian noodles. To slice the chicken thin, freeze for 20 minutes or so first or if you are using chicken from the freezer, slice before it is completely thawed. It isn't as hot as you would expect from "Szechuan"--if you want it spicy hot--add more crushed red chilies."

The original recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of chili powder, which, unless you have very mild chili powder, could be blisteringly hot.

Feel free to serve this over quinoa or whatever grain suits you; soba noodles would probably be great..."
