Green Beans with Tofu and Tahini Dressing image

In Japan this is known as "shira-ae" and is made with ground roasted white sesame seeds. I have subbed tahini for that! Super delicious, amazing umami, and sooo good for you!

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
¼ (12 ounce) package firm tofu
1 tablespoon tahini

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, allow to cool slightly, and slice on the diagonal. Transfer to a bowl.
