Ingredients for Seared Tofu with with Green Beans and Asian Coconut Sauce

• 1 (14- to 450g ) package firm tofu

• 2 cucchiai di salsa di soia

• 60ml di olio vegetale

• 1 cucchiaio di aglio tritato finemente

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger

• 1/2 teaspoons dried hot red pepper flakes

• 450g green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch-long pieces

• 1 red pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips (2 inches long)

• 1 cucchiaino di sale

• 1 (14- to 425g ) can unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)

• 1 cucchiaio di succo di lime fresco

• 80ml chopped salted roasted cashews

• Accompaniment: rice noodles or rice

Halve tofu lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and pat dry well. Put 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a wide shallow dish, then add tofu, turning to coat, and let stand 10 minutes. Pat tofu dry.

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then add tofu in 1 layer and cook, turning over once, until tofu is browned, about 6 minutes total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large plate, reserving oil in skillet.

Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to skillet and sauté, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans, pepper, and salt and sauté, stirring, 1 minute.

Stir in coconut milk and remaining tablespoon soy sauce and bring to a boil, then boil, uncovered, until beans are tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables using a slotted spoon to plate with tofu.

Simmer sauce until thickened slightly and reduced to about 180ml , about 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice and pour sauce over vegetables and tofu. Sprinkle with cashews.
