For the Tofu:
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
12 ounces (350 grams) medium-firmness tofu, 2 1/2 cups cubed)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
For the Stir-Fry Sauce:
1/4 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sherry (or cooking sherry)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or regular white vinegar)
For the Stir-Fry:
1 tablespoon finely chopped purple or white onion
3 to 4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 medium carrot (sliced)
1 stalk celery (sliced thickly)
1 1/2 to 2 cups broccoli florets
6 to 7 shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
1 1/2 to 2 cups bok choy (baby, or chopped green cabbage)
1 red bell pepper ( sliced)
Optional: lemon or lime juice
Optional: fresh chili slices or chili flakes
Jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
  • Slice tofu into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes or rectangles and add to the marinade, gently turning to saturate. Set in the refrigerator.
  • Combine stir-fry sauce ingredients in a cup and set aside.
  • Distribute flour over a large dinner plate. Remove tofu from refrigerator and gently turn each piece in the flour. Let tofu remain sitting in the flour.
  • Heat a small to medium frying pan over high heat. Add 5 tablespoons vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add the floured tofu cubes. Fry 1 minute, then turn tofu and fry 1 more minute or until medium-browned on both sides. Remove tofu from oil and set on paper towel to drain. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue frying until all tofu is cooked. Reserve fried tofu on a sheet pan in a warm oven.
  • Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil plus onion and garlic, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add carrot and celery plus 2 tablespoons of stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and mushrooms. Stir-fry 2 minutes, adding more of the stir-fry sauce as you go.
  • Add bok choy, red pepper, and remaining stir-fry sauce, frying everything together until vegetables are cooked but still retain some crispness (2 to 3 minutes). Remove from heat and taste-test. If too salty or sweet for your taste, add a little lime or lemon juice. Add more soy sauce if not salty or flavorful enough. Some fresh-cut chili or chili flakes can be added for more spice.
  • To serve, transfer vegetables onto a serving plate or individual plates or bowls. Tip the pan to drizzle remaining sauce over, then top with the warm tofu. Serve with Thai jasmine rice .
