Tofu and String Beans Teriyaki

[Guest guest]

It's going to be another scorcher today so this stove-top meal should keep the kitchen cool. And to keep the sodium down a bit I use the lower salt terriyaki sauce. It's not *that* much lower, but every little bit helps.

NOTES : (All notes and directions by the author) This recipe came about because I had a pound of string beans that had to be used! String beans can be bland, so I thought the teriyaki sauce would really jazz them up. I was right! I love this recipe because it is quick and doesn't require many ingredients. I also love it because it's similar to Chinese food takeout (only much healthier!). It's a real crowd pleaser and even non-vegans will love it.Nutr. Assoc. : 1497 0 0 0 0 1384
