TUNA (OR FISH OR CHICKEN) WITH GINGER SHIITAKE CREAM SAUCE
Excellent, no-fail and incredibly simple. Guests are always floored by this recipe! I adapted it from Bon Appetit. Get all of your ingredients ready before you begin (mise en place), as the cooking goes quickly. Also, be sure to use regular full-fat whipping cream -- the flavor of the cream is key to this and low-fat substitutions won't work well. If you decide to substitute chicken breasts for the tuna, decrease the heat and increase the cooking time to thoroughly cook the chicken. Serve on a bed of baby greens, alongside Wasabi Mashed Potatoes. Perfection!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees.
- Heat a skillet on your stove to medium high.
- Grind a generous amount of pepper onto one side of tuna steaks (skip this if using chicken and see intro for instructions).
- Add oil to the pan. When it's very hot, add the tuna steaks, pepper side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until seared but still rare in the center. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a plate, tented with foil, in a 200 degree oven.
- In the medium-high pan where you seared the tuna (or chicken), add butter, onion, ginger and garlic. Sautee for a minute, just until the garlic becomes translucent (don't let it brown).
- Add shiitakes and cook, without stirring, until they brown slightly. Add the soy sauce and cream. Let it cook until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the lime juice and cilantro.
- Serve tuna, fish or chicken hot atop a bed of greens. Add wasabi mashed potatoes alongside. Top all with the sauce, and garnish with cilantro or chive sprigs.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- 2. In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add enough of the marinade to evenly coat them. Toss to combine.
- 3. Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a small baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the tofu.
- 4. Transfer the tofu to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Spread the mushrooms out on one or two baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Continue roasting the tofu and the mushrooms until the tofu is nearly dry and well browned and the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- 5. Arrange the spinach on serving plates. Drizzle with some of the remaining marinade from the tofu pan. Divide the tofu slices among the plates and top with some of the mushrooms. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape better when pan-searing.
- Press the tofu before cooking: This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
- Use a nonstick skillet: This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking and breaking apart.
- Sear the tofu over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy outer layer.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: This will help the tofu cook evenly.
- Flip the tofu gently: Use a spatula to carefully flip the tofu so that it doesn't break apart.
- Make the sauce while the tofu is cooking: This will save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the tofu is done cooking.
- Serve the tofu immediately: This is when it is at its best, with a crispy outer layer and a tender interior.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared tofu with ginger-shiitake cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is creamy, flavorful, and umami-rich. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table, and it's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables.
