In the meantime, rinse beans, trim and cut diagonally into pieces about 3 cm (approximately 1 1/4 inch) long. Parboil in salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Rinse in a sieve with cold water and drain.
While the beans cook, rinse zucchini, trim, cut in half lengthwise and cut diagonally into thin slices.
Rinse chile pepper, trim, cut in half, remove the seeds, if necessary, rinse again and cut into thin rings. Peel the garlic and chop finely.
Rinse scallions, trim and cut diagonally into thin rings. Peel ginger root and finely grate.
Put potato flour on a plate. Cut tofu into cubes about 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2 inch). Pat dry, season with salt and dredge in the potato flour.
Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry tofu until golden brown on all sides over medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.
Add beans, chile pepper and garlic in the oil that remains in the pan and fry.
Add zucchini and scallions and cook everything covered on low heat for 2 minutes.

Healthy, because
Tofu is an important source of protein and therefore always a good idea, especially for vegetarians and especially for vegans. The crunchy vegetables bring vitamins and fibre into play; the noodles ensure good satiety. Especially for vegetarians and especially for vegans.
Even smarter
If you want, you can also use rice noodles instead of Mie noodles. This even saves a few more minutes, because they only have to be soaked for a short time.
