Tofu and Green Beans With Chile Crisp image

I love to cook with chile crisp, a fiery hot-pepper condiment born in the Sichuan Province of China that generally relies on fried shallots and garlic for texture, and on any number of umami-rich special ingredients for distinction and oomph. It's magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish. Here, I use it as the base of a marinade and topping for baked tofu and green beans, with black vinegar, a little sesame oil, a wisp of honey, minced garlic and ginger, along with scallions and cilantro. But you could use the mixture on a mitten and have a very nice meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons chile-crisp condiment, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced crosswise into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slabs
3/4 pound green beans
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
White rice, for serving
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a baking dish or casserole, whisk together the chile crisp, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, scallions and cilantro.
  • Add the tofu slices to the dish, and coat them with the sauce, then allow to marinate for as long as it takes to heat the oven and trim the green beans.
  • Add the green beans to a large sheet pan, then drizzle the neutral oil on top and toss to coat. Slide the green beans to the sides of the pan, and arrange the slices of tofu in an even layer in the center of the pan. Pour remaining marinade over the tofu, and place in oven.
  • Roast until the green beans start to blister, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and extra chile crisp on the side.
