Haven’t used your beans yet? Run – don’t walk – to make this delicious, easy stir fry!


If you’re like me, you admired the elegant beauty of the golden or purple green beans that appeared in your CSA basket this week, but you had no idea what to do with them.

Finally, inspiration hit and I knew I had to get those beans in a simple, garlicky stir fry. So quick, so easy, so tasty!

I put some brown rice on the stove. Then I pressed the water out of block of tofu, coated the tofu in tamari (similar to soy sauce, but a richer and more complex flavor – give it a try in place of soy sauce) and popped it in the oven. I trimmed the “royalty purple pods” though that wasn’t even necessary and sautéed them for about 2 minutes with lots of garlic and ginger and some tamari. I finished them off with a generous squeeze of lime and the Thai Basil I recently planted in my garden. Delicious. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow.
