Ground Beef, Pressed Tofu & Edamame



I can definitely say this is a lazy dish. :) because there isn't much prepping required if you buy frozen ready to eat edamame.
You can use any tofu.  But traditionally, this dish was cooked with using pressed tofu.  You can find this tofu in any Chinese market.  It is a marinated soy sauce tofu.
