The spin it part of your recipes is my favorite thing. It teaches people how they can change up a recipe successfully and that's definitely how you get more confident in the kitchen.

It looks similar to home style dish from Java, Indonesia. It called Oseng Buncis Tahu. It just stir fried tofu and green beans sometimes long bean season with slices garlic, shallot, chillies, a dollop of sambal and Indonesian sweet soy sauce. It's sweet and spicy, a bit savory sometimes.

I never met a tofu I didn't like.

I got this cookbook for my birthday around christmastime and have already cooked five or six recipes from it. every single one has been fantastic, and the fact that all the weeknight meals actually only take 30 minutes or less is wonderful too :)

This is my new favorite channel! I just made this with regular green beans and used San J peanut sauce with a bunch of chili flakes mixed in. So great!

Hi Carla!!! I made this for dinner tonight. It was excellent! I’ve actually never eaten/bought/prepared tofu before, so this was an adventure to me. It was a quick, easy, DELICIOUS recipe. Thank you for allowing us to download the recipe for free!! This will definitely help me start my journey to eating less meat.

I’m 60, and have never liked or enjoyed tofu, but THIS IS THE BREAKTHROUGH recipe! My mother said you never know when your taste will change, and in my life, oh how I have found that true. Thank you!

I love the new lighting and these recipes omg. Carla is my mommy

[itsthevoiceman]

Just goes to show you how lighting really changes things up. Only looks like 1 soft box and the video production quality is like night and day. Kudos!

Carla I absolutely adored this dish. I love cooking and baking but lately I haven't been feeling it. My depression and anxiety have been off the rails. However, trying this recipe alongside the herbed rice.with shrimpy kimchi with tomato sauce last night restored my love of cooking. My mouth was watering as I was making both dishes, my senses had awakened, I got excited by green beans! Thank you so much for putting this lovely book together.

[megmez]

My husband and I love this recipe! I make it all the time.

Thanks so much for looking out for us vegetarians!! This dish looks amazing and I have everything except mirin. Easy fix, so this is in the plan for this weekend!

Hi Carla, I hope you read this comment. This is the first recipe of yours that i tried and it's simple, elegant and surprisingly it tasted great! I never felt the need to leave a comment on youtube pr anywhere really but my lunch today was so extraordinary that i thought you should know you are great and appreciated! You rock!

[ryanmoran]

You are literally so soothing so happy you made your own channel!

1) The Spin - thank you so much for suggesting substitutes and alternative ingredients 2) Tofu Hack - genius! I will stop cutting it into squares 3) The recipe -simple, inexpensive, healthy, delish. I used garlic instead of ginger and made an extra batch of sauce and warmed it up. I served it on the side since I like things saucy. Thank so much for this greatness. I have so many leftovers, can this be frozen?

[jeffkoons]

This is one of my favorite recipes EVER. It really is SO DAMN GOOD, Carla.

[sarikapriya]

I saw this video yesterday and made this for dinner! It turned out so good, and was so fast. I love how you encourage people to "spin it" and make it their own, instead of treating a recipe as a holy grail.

[bagelbenji]

I bought the cookbook for family for holidays but after seeing this recipe I bought one for myself!!
I need Carla on my shelf.

[samanthagarner]

I just made this and it is absolutely the best thing I've eaten in a month. I will be riffing on this and eating this exact thing forever. Thank you!
