Step 1

Heat oil in a 12" skillet over high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and half the scallions; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add yuba, edamame, and chile bean paste; cook until hot, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce and ¼ cup water, and cook, tossing, until almost evaporated, about 30 seconds more. Divide between 2 serving bowls, and garnish with remaining scallions.
