Cooking steps
Prepare the tofu by draining it and pressing out any excess water with paper towels. Cut it into cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 5 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to become tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and water.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the tofu and vegetables in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve the Thai tofu stir-fry over cooked rice.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
