Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Slice the tofu into 4 horizontal slabs. Gently press them between a tea towel to remove some of their moisture. Then slice into strips.
  2. Stir together the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Add the tofu strips, and flip gently (a wooden utensil works well) to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes- 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, cook your quinoa, and let it rest, partially covered, off the heat when it's done.
  4. When the quinoa is cooked, you can also start steaming the beans and preparing the tofu:.
  5. Whisk everything for the sauce, EXCEPT the miso, in a small saucepan.
  6. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drain any extra marinade from the tofu strips, transfer them to the pan and fry till golden-brown. Set aside.
  7. Add the reserved marinade to the pan with the sauce ingredients and place it over medium heat. Quickly bring to a boil, whisking well to remove lumps of cornstarch. After it cooks for two minutes, remove from heat and stir in the miso.
  8. To serve, arrange 4 tofu strips on a bed of quinoa on each plate. Spoon sauce over top, and sprinkle with scallion and sprouts. Divvy up the beans on the side, and serve. Hope you enjoy!
