Preparation

Step 1

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain.

Cut the bean curd into slices 1-inch long and 1/4-inch thick. Drain the slices on paper towels, patting them dry. Heat the oil in a wok or deep skillet and fry the slices over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until light brown. Remove and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon oil in the wok.

In a food processor or a mortar, blend the shallots, garlic, chilies and salt to form a paste. Heat the oil in the wok and stir-fry the paste over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the green beans and bean curd, sweet soy sauce, and tomato paste. Stir-fry the mixture for 3 minutes. Serve warm
