Ingredients: 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce; 2 tbsp (30 ml) mirin; 2 tbsp (30 ml) water; 1 tbsp (15 ml) toasted sesame oil; 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger; 2 tsp (10 ml) sambal oelek; 1 clove garlic, finely chopped; 1/2 cup (125 ml) mayonnaise; 1/2 cup (70 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1/2 tsp onion powder; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper; 2 eggs, lightly beaten; 2 cups (100 g) panko bread crumbs; 1 lb (450 g) firm tofu, cut into 4 x 1 x 1/2-inch (8 x 2 x 1 cm) strips, patted dry; 3 tbsp (45 ml) canola oil; 1 lb (450 g) green beans, blanched; 1 shallot, thinly sliced; Salt and pepper

Preparation

Wafu Dressing
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the mayonnaise.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture. Add the mayonnaise to the remaining mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tofu and Green Beans
- In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, onion powder and cayenne pepper.
- Dredge the tofu strips in the flour. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press the sticks into the bread crumbs to coat them evenly.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown one-third of the tofu in 1 tbsp of the oil. Repeat with the remaining tofu, taking care to clean the skillet between batches. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, soften the shallot in the reserved dressing mixture (1/4 cup). Add the beans and toss well. Continue cooking for a few minutes or until the beans are warmed through.
- Divide the beans among serving plates. Top with the tofu. Serve with the wafu dressing and white rice.
