Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add tofu, green beans and brown sugar, return to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender crisp, 3or 4 minutes.

Stir in lime juice and salt. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves on top. Serve warm over steamed rice with lime wedges.
