STIR FRIED BOK CHOY WITH TOFU PUFFS



Stir Fried Bok Choy with Tofu Puffs image

A super quick and easy stir fried bok choy with tofu puffs that only uses five ingredients and takes 15 minutes to prep and cook. The crisp bok choy is lightly caramelized and combined with tender tofu in a savory and slightly sweet sauce. It is surprisingly satisfying to eat as a side dish, and sometimes I serve it as a light main dish for lunch over steamed rice. {Vegan, Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari to replace light soy sauce.

SPICY STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH BOK CHOY OR BABY BROCCOLI



Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu With Bok Choy or Baby Broccoli image

This is a really basic stir-fry that I found on nytimes.com "recipes for health". Simple flavors, few ingredients, healthy.... I like to serve this over quinoa but you could use rice or noodles with equal success. When browning the tofu, I add some extra chili paste and fresh ginger to the pan for flavor. After it's done and draining on paper towels, I sprinkle it with some kosher salt. The result is far from bland tofu! It's also good to keep some extra soy sauce and hot sauce on the table so that eaters can season to taste. Also, freezing tofu and then thawing it before you cut it up gives it a chewier firmer texture that I really enjoy.... Cheers to healthy eating!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb firm tofu, thoroughly patted dry, cut into pieces 1/2in thick and 1in long
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
4 scallions, white and light green parts separated from the dark green, chopped
1 lb bok choy or 1 lb baby broccoli, chopped into stir-fry sized pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon asian chili paste, such as sambal oelek
salt
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok, and stir-fry the tofu until lightly colored. Remove from the heat, and drain on paper towels. (See description for flavoring ideas).
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan, then add the red pepper. Stir fry for three minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and the light part of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 15 seconds, then add the bok choy or baby broccoli.
  • Stir-fry for about one minute, until coated with oil and beginning to wilt, and add the water. Cook, stirring, until the water evaporates, about two to three minutes, and stir in the tofu, the soy sauce and chili paste. (I had a hard time evaporating the water and ended up pouring it out of the pan before adding the soy, chili paste, and tofu.).
  • Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the ingredients are well seasoned. Remove from the heat, sprinkle on the green part of the scallions (and maybe sesame seeds) and serve.

TOFU AND BOK CHOY STIR-FRY



Tofu and Bok Choy Stir-Fry image

Categories     Herb     Soy     Vegetable     Stir-Fry     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Tofu     Bok Choy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry Sherry
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 1/2 cups thinly sliced trimmed bok choy
1 5-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 1/2 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Heat vegetable oil until very hot in heavy large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper. Stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add bok choy and stir-fry until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Mix in water chestnuts and green onions and stir-fry until onions are tender, about 1 minute. Add tofu and lightly stir-fry until tofu is just heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour over soy mixture. Stir-fry until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bok choy: Look for fresh, crisp bok choy with deep green leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the bok choy thoroughly: Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut off the root end and separate the leaves from the stems.
  • Cut the bok choy into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the stems into 1-inch pieces and the leaves into 2-inch pieces.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the bok choy plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the bok choy sear and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Add the bok choy and cook until tender: Stir-fry the bok choy for about 5 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. If you are using a wok, you can toss the bok choy to help it cook evenly.
  • Add the sauce and tofu: Stir in the sauce and tofu and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried bok choy is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried bok choy with tofu is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. This dish is also very versatile. You can add other vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers. You can also use a different type of protein, such as chicken or shrimp. No matter how you make it, stir-fried bok choy with tofu is a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
