Sichuan Dry-Fried Veggies and Tofu
Source: "Herbivoracious" by Michael Natkin (Entered by Kathy Rausch)Sichuan preserved vegetable, a pickled and canned mustard tuber, is available at most Asian supermarkets. You can buy the chunk style and chop it yourself; if you buy it pre-shredded, you may want to rinse off some of the salt.
The recipe calls for green beans; we used the stirfry veggies we had on hand – bok choy, brussels sprouts, broccoli etc. Delicious!!
