Stir-Fried String Beans and Tofu

Craving for tofu today and actually I have little bit of tofu in refrigerator. This recipe's spices originally base on Sapo Tofu Recipe, but I made little bit adjustment for the best taste.

You can substitute string beans with another vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrot.
