Ingredients

2-3 Thai or serrano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1 (14-ounce) block firm tofu, cut into 1/2" planks
1 pound green beans or mix of green beans and yellow wax beans, trimmed
1 ripe but firm mango (about 1 pound), thinly sliced on the bias
1 small carrot (about 5 ounces), thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon leaves
2 ripe avocados, cut into quarters, skin removed
2 tablespoons chopped salted, roasted peanuts
1 small head of lettuce (such as romaine hearts or Bibb), separated into leaves for wrapping
Special Equipment
A flat grill basket (about 13 1/2 x 8 1/2") or grill pan

Steps:

Whisk chiles, garlic, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Pour half of sauce into a shallow dish; reserve remaining sauce. Add 1 Tbsp. oil to sauce in shallow dish and whisk to combine. Add tofu and gently toss; set aside to marinate.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). If using grill, arrange beans in grill basket and place on hot grill. Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. If using grill pan, cook beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until well charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Remove tofu from marinade, reserving marinade, and transfer to a plate; pat dry. Brush grill and tofu with oil and grill tofu, turning once halfway through, until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes per side. If using grill, be careful when turning, as tofu may stick. Transfer to plate and drizzle with reserved marinade.
Toss beans, mango, carrot, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro with reserved sauce. Transfer to a platter and arrange tofu and avocados alongside. Top with peanuts and 1 Tbsp. cilantro leaves. Arrange lettuce leaves on another platter. To serve, wrap tofu, avocado, and bean mixture in lettuce leaves.

THAI SWEET GREEN BEANS

Thai Sweet Green Beans image

We are in love with Thai sweet chili sauce. I find myself adding it to many things, especially vegetable dishes. In the summertime when we have a lot of green beans from our garden, this is one of the recipes I do frequently. Try it! It's yummy!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
4 clove garlic, sliced thinly
2 lb green beans, trimmed
1/3 c thai infused broth (or chicken or vegetable broth)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 c thai sweet chili sauce (such as mae ploy)
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

1. Heat oil in large skillet with lid over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic and pepper flakes and saute for 30 seconds till fragrant.
2. Add the beans and toss to coat with oil. Cook, tossing occasionally until they begin to get brown in spots.
3. Add broth and soy sauce, cover skillet and let cook 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove lid and add sweet chili sauce and salt to taste. Cook another minute or so tossing to coat the beans with the sauce. You're looking for the beans to be crisp-tender. When they are, transfer to serving bowl and serve immediately.

Tips:

To prepare the green beans, trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help them retain their鮮豔的綠色 and crisp texture.
If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead. Just make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
To make the sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. You can adjust the amount of sugar or chili paste to taste.
When stir-frying the green beans, be sure to keep the heat high and stir constantly. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
Serve the green beans immediately, garnished with roasted peanuts and cilantro. They're also delicious served over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Thai sweet green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. They're packed with flavor and nutrition, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, give this recipe a try.
