In winter, the selection of vegetables is often a little monotonous. Cabbage, celery or squash are readily available, but rarely provide variety. It's all the better when dried green beans come into play – and prove that they are capable of so much more than just accompanying a Bernese platter. After a thorough soak (essential!), they are coated in an aromatic sauce made with chilli, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Crispy tofu adds not only bite, but also protein. Accompanied by a serving of rice, you have an utterly delicious dish that will add a spark to your winter routines.
