Tofu stir fry with bell peppers and green beans

I wanted to try out a new marinade this week and I'm still breaking in my new ceramic pans, so a stir fry seemed like the right thing to do (my roommate just moved out; left me lots of food goodies). There are many different ways to cook tofu, but today I tried making it the way it is often served in restaurants; dry-fried, then marinated.


So I cooked the tofu first, in two batches and with minimal oil. Then I set it aside to marinate in the peanut sauce (which you could make yourself, and it would probably taste just as good if not better). While the tofu was marinating, I stir-fried 1 sliced onion, about 1 (maybe more?) thinly sliced red bell pepper, garlic, ginger, and green beans (added in that order). Then, when everything was just about cooked, I added the tofu and a bit more of the marinade.

Meanwhile, I cooked up some jasmine rice. I think some basil added to the stir fry would've been a good topping, but this was good as is!
