Thai Spiced Tofu

From Real Simple. Yay tofu!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 8  ounces firm tofu, cut into four 1/2-inch slices*
• 3  tablespoons Thai red curry paste (found in the Asian section of most supermarkets)
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 2  tablespoons fish sauce (for vegetarians who don't eat fish) or 2  tablespoons tamari (for vegetarians who don't eat fish)
• 1⁄2 lb green beans
• 1⁄2 cup vegetable broth
• 1  tablespoon  peanut oil

Directions

1. Place the tofu between layers of paper towels and weigh them down with a heavy skillet to remove excess water. Set aside to drain for 10 minutes.
2. Combine the curry paste, sugar, and fish sauce; put half this sauce in a resealable plastic bag. Add the tofu, seal, and set aside for 15 minutes.
3. In a saucepan, combine the green beans, broth, oil, and the remaining curry. Simmer until the beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
4. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray and place it over medium heat. When hot, add the tofu and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a dinner plate and cover.
5. Serve with the green beans.
