TOFU WITH BOK CHOY
Made from soybeans and also known as bean curd, tofu is a popular East Asian food that's low calorie, cholesterol-free, and protein rich. Available in a variety of textures, from custardlike to firm, it has a mild taste on its own, but acts like a sponge for the flavors of the foods with which it is cooked. In this recipe, tofu is combined with steamed Chinese white cabbage, also known as bok choy.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until sugar dissolves; set aside.
- Steam the bok choy; bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot. Arrange bok choy in a single layer in a steamer, and place over simmering water. Cover, and steam until hot and tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Cook the tofu: Heat a large nonstick skillet or a wok over high heat. Add oil, and swirl just to coat bottom of pan. Pat tofu dry, and arrange in pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Transfer tofu to a serving platter. Pour sauce over tofu, and top with cilantro, scallions, and serrano pepper. Serve with steamed bok choy and rice on the side.
PAN STEAMED TOFU AND BOK CHOY
This is a very healthy and simple dish that can be made with just a frying pan/skillet with a cover. It really does not matter how much bok choy you use. Measurements should NOT be carefully observed because it really depends on preference. This dish can be served with noodles or rice, depending on what you like. If you're on a low-carb diet, this could serve 2 people. If this is going to be your main dish and you're not having any carbs, try adding some sliced mushrooms with the tofu. This will add some moisture to the pan for steaming too. For the bok choy, I like the baby bok choy because there's no chopping necessary. Larger ones need to be chopped into one-inch pieces. This recipe works with silken soft tofu too but it is more difficult to handle. Sesame oil is optional because it's not a common thing for people to have in their kitchens.

Steps:
- Turn on the burner to low-medium heat.
- When it's hot, pour in the oil(s) and garlic.
- Add the sliced tofu to the pan and drizzle soy sauce over the tofu. The amount really depends on how salty you like your food. Start with 2 Tablespoons and add more later if it's too bland.
- Cover the pan immediately. If the soy sauce evaporates, add some water and cover the pan again. There should be enough water from the tofu to create steam.
- After a minute or two, flip the tofu slices and put all of the bok choy in the pan. Cover again.
- After about 3 minutes, use chopsticks (or a big spoon) to stir the bok choy so that it picks up some soy sauce.
- Cover pan and cook for a few more minutes.
- The dish is ready when the bok choy is wilted.
Tips:
- Choose firm or extra firm tofu: This will help the tofu cakes hold their shape better during cooking.
- Press the tofu before marinating: This will help remove excess water and allow the tofu to absorb the marinade more effectively.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the tofu cakes their flavor, so make sure to use a combination of spices and herbs that you enjoy.
- Cook the tofu cakes over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning and allow them to cook evenly.
- Serve the tofu cakes with a dipping sauce: This will add an extra layer of flavor and make the tofu cakes even more enjoyable.
Conclusion:
Black bean marinated tofu cakes are a delicious and healthy vegan dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
