This spicy and fragrant green bean dish is sublime. There are so many incredible flavours and textures in this recipe. A single bite will have you crunch through squeaky green beans, a sumptuous and smooth sauce, crispy tofu and some delightfully sticky rice. Wonderful!

If you’re a blog regular, you know I have an unhealthy obsession with green beans. They might be my favourite vegetable, at least in my top five. I feel that green beans don’t get enough love. No one celebrates these emerald sticks as they deserve.

Whenever I see a boiled mess of green beans served as a side, I’m tempted to have what others might call a “tantrum”. Instead, I’ve chosen to take the diplomatic route and show you how great green beans can be as the focal point of the main dish.

Enter my spicy green bean and tofu recipe. This crunchy and delicious dish treats green beans with the respect they deserve - lathering them in a beautiful Thai curry sauce and bolstering them with some crispy tofu.

Now go forth and spread the message of the humble green bean!
