Recipe:
Step 1:
Take about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on medium heat in a wok or a deep pan and add the crushed garlic bulbs before the oil is hot.
Trust me do it before the oil is hot, I know what I am talking about!
Step 2:
Fiddle(Stir) the garlic with a spatula and ensure that the garlic does not burn as the oil heats up (still on medium heat.)
In case you are adding the green beans, do so now!
Wilt them to the crunch you like.

Step 3:
Dry the tofu and cut it into cuboids, about half an inch in thickness,
Once the oil with the garlic in it is hot enough, add the Tofu cuboids to tenderize them.Dry the tofu and cut it into cuboids, about half an inch in thickness,
Tenderize the Tofu in the oil for about 5 minutes on low heat.
Cheffy Tip: Do not add before the oil is nice and hot or the tofu will soak most of it.
Step 4:
Add about 2 tablespoons of the spicy black bean sauce and about half a cup of water.
Step 5:
Stir and mix everything thoroughly. Add salt and red chili powder as per your preferences.
Add half a tablespoon of white vinegar.
Step 6:
Stir on medium heat till the sauce sort starts clinging on to the tofu.
The consistency is all about your personal preference.
Taste and in case you think the dish needs more sauce, add it in very small quantities. Even a little too much sauce can quickly turn nasty.
Step 7:
Eat!
Hey you!
Don't try the pre-made blackbean sauce directly from the packet.
But in case you have enemies to take care of, stuff their mouths with spoonfuls of black bean sauce goodness!
