| 1. Slice the tofu into 4 horizontal slabs. Gently press them between a tea towel to remove some of their moisture. Then slice into strips. | 2. Stir together the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Add the tofu strips, and flip gently (a wooden utensil works well) to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes- 1 hour. | 3. Meanwhile, cook your quinoa, and let it rest, partially covered, off the heat when it's done. | 4. When the quinoa is cooked, you can also start steaming the beans and preparing the tofu: | 5. Whisk everything for the sauce, EXCEPT the miso, in a small saucepan. | 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drain any extra marinade from the tofu strips, transfer them to the pan and fry till golden-brown. Set aside. | 7. Add the reserved marinade to the pan with the sauce ingredients and place it over medium heat. Quickly bring to a boil, whisking well to remove lumps of cornstarch. After it cooks for two minutes, remove from heat and stir in the miso. | 8. To serve, arrange 4 tofu strips on a bed of quinoa on each plate. Spoon sauce over top, and sprinkle with scallion and sprouts. Divvy up the beans on the side, and serve. Hope you enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
