Spicy Korean Tofu Bowl

sesame-garlic green beans, brown rice

We add some heat to peanut butter sauce with gochujang, our fave Korean condiment, and it transforms these tofu bowls from good to great. But the best part of this dinner? It’s low in carbs, calories, *and* sodium. Served on a bed of brown rice with sesame-garlic green beans.

Mix the gochujang sauce

Stir together just half the garlic, gochujang, just 1 tbsp peanut butter, tamari, sugar, and ¼ cup warm water in medium bowl.

2
Crisp the tofu

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until crispy in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Add gochujang sauce and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer gochujang tofu to plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.

3
Make the green beans

Add 1 tsp vegetable oil to same skillet and return to high heat. Add remaining garlic, green beans, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Cook until garlic begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ¼ cup water, cover, and cook until green beans are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
