Green Beans with Fermented Bean Curd

Summertime in Chicago meant green beans fresh from the neighbourhood gardens. And nothing is better than simply stir-frying the beans in a touch of fermented bean curd: it makes this classical vegetable dish piquant and savoury while retaining the freshness and crunch of the beans. Fermented bean curd, available in jars, can easily be found at Chinese grocers and supermarkets.
