Black Pepper Tofu and Green Beans

My mom and I made this recipe last night from her Sunset magazine, and it was wildly good!
Cheers to a tofu friendly kitchen!

Black Pepper Tofu and Green Beans 


1 lb green beans, trimmed and halved
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp soy-sauce
1 tsp pepper
14 oz. firm tofu, drained and patted dry
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced shallots

1) Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add green beans, cook until bright green, about 3 minutes.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  In a small bowl, mix lime juice, soy sauce, and pepper, then set aside.

2)  Cut tofu into 1/2-inch thick rectangles.  Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat.  Add tofu, sprinkle with sugar, and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.  Stir in shallots and cook until browned, about 3 minutes.  Add green beans and cook until warmed, about 3 minutes.  Pour in soy mixture and stir to coat.
