Garlic-Dressed Charred Green Bean Salad

Full disclosure: I set my smoke alarm off countless times while writing this recipe, so open a door or window, and use the extractor fan.

Garlic is a true shapeshifter here, adding oomph to the crispy tofu, a savoury accent to the rice and crispy golden slivers to the green beans. Allowing the beans to rest, covered in the garlic dressing, encourages them to soften and absorb all the zingy flavours as the smokiness mellows.
