Panfried Tofu with Romano-Bean and Herb Salad

This vibrant pan-fried tofu with romano bean and herb salad is a sophisticated vegetarian dish that celebrates fresh, seasonal produce. By coating soft tofu in a light egg wash before frying, you achieve a delicate golden crust that contrasts beautifully with the creamy interior. The star of the plate is the Romano bean salad, which uses a rich, homemade emulsified dressing made from hard-boiled egg yolks, lemon, and capers to provide a bright, savoury finish.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner or a leisurely weekend lunch, this recipe is packed with plant-based protein and iron-rich greens. The addition of wild rocket and aromatic tarragon brings a peppery depth to the beans, making it a satisfying yet light meal. Serve it while the tofu is still warm to enjoy the best textural contrast against the crisp, chilled salad.

Ingredients for Panfried Tofu with Romano-Bean and Herb Salad

  • 2 (400g) packages soft tofu (not silken)

  • 6 large eggs (4 hard-boiled and 2 raw)

  • 2 cucharadas de jugo de limón fresco

  • 2 cucharadas de agua

  • 1 cucharada de mostaza de Dijon

  • 120ml más 2 cucharadas de aceite vegetal, dividido

  • 1 medium shallot, minced (2 tablespoons )

  • 1/3 taza de perejil de hoja plana picado

  • 2 cucharadas de alcaparras escurridas, picadas

  • 675g Romano beans or green beans, trimmed

  • 140g wild or baby rocket (6 packed cups)

  • 1/3 cup tarragon leaves

Cut each tofu block lengthwise into 3 equal pieces. Drain on paper towels.

Peel hard-boiled eggs and halve lengthwise. Remove hard-boiled yolks and place in a food processor. Thinly slice whites crosswise and reserve.

Add lemon juice, water, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper to yolks in food processor. With motor running, add 120ml oil in a slow stream, processing until emulsified and smooth and scraping down sides as needed. Transfer to a bowl and stir in shallot, parsley, and capers. Reserve 60ml dressing for serving.

Cook beans, uncovered, in well-salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain well. Transfer to a bowl and toss with dressing (excluding 1/4 reserved dressing for serving). Gently toss with rocket, tarragon, and egg whites. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, lightly beat remaining 2 eggs in a medium bowl. Pat tofu dry and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoons salt (total). Coat tofu with egg, letting excess drip off, then fry, turning once, until golden and heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain briefly on paper towels, then serve with salad and reserved dressing.◊
