Pungent and savory black bean-garlic sauce is the secret ingredient in

this ultra-quick stir-fry.

 

ChupaNote: I used a teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and needed more

sesame oil. Plan on using more than than 1 T. of the black bean sauce

as well. I also added a 12 oz container of tofu (frozen, defrosted,

squeezed dry, and baked), cut into strips. Next time I will add a

handful of sliced garlic for some real zing!
