SPINACH AND TOFU WONTONS IN BROTH



Spinach and Tofu Wontons in Broth image

You can find wonton wrappers in most supermarkets. Sometimes they're in the produce section in the cooler with the tofu. Use either round or square wrappers for these; make them ahead if it's more convenient and freeze.

Time 30m

Yield 3 1/2 to 4 dozen wontons, enough for 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large bunch spinach (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), stemmed and washed well in 2 changes of water, or 9 ounces baby spinach (1 1/2 6-ounce bags)
6 ounces firm tofu, cut in 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup diced tofu)
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
2 teaspoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, canola oil or peanut oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 large cloves)
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup minced scallions (white and light green parts)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 package wonton wrappers (freeze what you don't use)
1 egg, beaten, or 2 tablespoons water mixed with 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 quarts chicken stock or vegetable stock
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro and sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Steam the spinach above 1 inch boiling water until it wilts, 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse with cold water and squeeze dry, taking up the spinach by the handful. Chop fine and set aside.
  • Blot the tofu on paper towels. Combine the soy sauce, sherry, sugar and salt to taste in a small bowl and stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved, then stir in the sesame oil. Place on the stove near your wok or skillet. Place the garlic, ginger and scallions together in a container near your wok or skillet.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the grapeseed, canola or peanut oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the tofu and spread out in a single layer. Let it sear for 1 minute, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to color. Add the garlic, ginger and scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the spinach and sesame seeds and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry for another minute, breaking up the tofu a little bit more with your spatula, then stir in the cilantro and remove from the heat.
  • To fill the wontons, lay out about 6 wonton skins on your work surface and place a level teaspoon of the tofu/spinach mixture in the center of each one. Brush the perimeter of the wonton skin with a very small amount of beaten egg or with the cornstarch mixture. Fold the wonton in half if using round skins, or diagonally corner to corner if they are square, and pinch the edges together all the way around to seal. Now put a little dab of egg or cornstarch mixture on the two opposite corners of the triangle or the two ends of the half-circle, fold the package in and pinch the tips together. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Continue filling the wrappers until all of the spinach and tofu mixture is used up. If not cooking right away place the baking sheet in the freezer.
  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a soup pot or a wide saucepan. Season to taste with salt or soy sauce. Add 6 to 8 wontons per serving and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, flipping them over once to ensure even cooking. Spoon wontons into soup bowls, ladle in broth and garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.

STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH RED CHARD



Stir-Fried Tofu With Red Chard image

Most of the time that you devote to a stir-fry goes into chopping and measuring out ingredients. Sometimes the list looks long to me, and I fear the dish is going to take forever to make. But while I may spend 30 minutes prepping everything, I'll spend only five minutes at the stove. For things to go well, it's important that the mise en place be organized. If liquids are to be added to a dish at the same time, combine them in one bowl or measuring cup. If the garlic and ginger are to be added together, have them minced and combined in a small container. Clean your work area before you start cooking, and have everything close to the stove. Once you begin to stir-fry, you won't be able to do anything except grab the next ingredient. Read the recipe carefully from beginning to end, have the table set, your rice or noodles cooked and plates ready. I love the pink color that tofu takes on when cooked with red chard. Beet greens would also do the trick. In this recipe, blanching the greens is part of the prep.

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped or grated fresh ginger
3/4 pound firm tofu, sliced 1/2 inch thick, into 1- by 2-inch dominoes
1 large bunch or 2 smaller bunches red chard about 1 1/2 pounds, stemmed and thoroughly cleaned retain the stems
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Mix together the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the ginger and the sugar. Toss with the tofu in a bowl, and set aside. Marinate for 15 minutes or longer. Refrigerate if not using right away. Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the red chard leaves. Cook the chard 1 to 2 minutes, until just tender, and transfer with a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out the water (you don't have to squeeze it completely dry). Chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Trim the ends of the chard stalks, clean them well and slice crosswise, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirl to coat the pan and reduce the heat to medium-high. Lift the tofu from the marinade, and add to the pan. Stir-fry for two to three minutes, until lightly colored. Add the chard stalks, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the garlic and remaining ginger, and stir together for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the blanched red chard, and stir-fry with the tofu for one minute. Add the tofu marinade and cook, stirring, for another minute or two, until heated through and fragrant. Remove from the heat and serve, with rice or noodles.
