Preparation

Step 1

Gently toss tofu with cornstarch to coat. In wok, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry tofu, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.

Drain all but 2 tsp oil from wok. Add garlic, light green parts of green onions, ginger and hot pepper flakes; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add tomato paste; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add green beans, broth, 1/4 cup water, hoisin sauce and soy sauce; stir-fry until green beans are tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tofu and green parts of green onions; stir-fry until coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
