Laquered Tofu Triangles With Green Beans and Cashews, Adapted from This Can’t Be Tofu: 75 Recipes to Cook Something You Never Thought You Would – and Love Every Bite, by Deborah Madison, this is easy, fast, and beguiling. Serve with rice or a baked sweet potato., This was a nice change — forgot the cashews and I don’t think they sell mushroom soy sauce where I live — added some chopped mushrooms and used the asparagus option. Nice and simple dinner which I enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
