TOFU SHIITAKE SPICY STIR-FRY



Tofu Shiitake Spicy Stir-Fry image

This is a simple and quick stir-fry. Peanut oil and shitake mushrooms provide the main flavor in this dish. These amounts are approximate. I added a generous sprinkling of finely ground cayenne at the very end for some serious heat, but those who don't like it hot-hot can skip that. Enjoy!

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces firm tofu, Cut into one-inch cubes
2 -3 tablespoons peanut oil (I use unrefined peanut oil, yum!)
1 large garlic clove, Grated
1 sweet onion, such as Oso Sweet, Empire Sweet
4 -5 bunches baby bok choy, about 1 pound, Cut into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves chopped coarsely
10 -12 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems trimmed even with cap, each cut into quarters, sixths if larger mushroom
1/2 cup carrot, Julienned (I cut baby carrots lengthwise)
2 -3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 -3 teaspoons sugar, to taste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Use your own discretion!)

Steps:

  • In large non-stick skillet, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cut onion in half and place onion cut-side down on cutting board. Slice 1/2-inch thick slices across the short way. Then cut once across the slices, creating two rows.
  • Put onions into skillet with the grated garlic and saute for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Add cubed tofu into pan and saute over high heat, adding oil as needed. Turn a few times with spatula until cubes brown slightly.
  • Remove the tofu and onions onto a plate.
  • Add bok choy and mushrooms to pan, stirring in 2 teaspoons of sugar, adding a little peanut oil if needed, and saute vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes. Push vegetables to the sides of the pan and add tofu into the center, sprinkling 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce over cubes. Sprinkle carrots around pan on top of vegetables. Heat for 2 minutes, sprinkle cayenne pepper over all, then gently stir everything together for 1 - 2 minutes more, using a flat nylon or bamboo spatula so as not to crush the tofu.
  • Serve with steamed rice.

SHREDDED TOFU AND SHIITAKE STIR-FRY



Shredded Tofu and Shiitake Stir-Fry image

Shredding tofu on a box grater before stir-frying gives it a fluffy, light texture, and the smaller pieces readily absorb the complex, earthy mushroom flavor of the sauce. Unlike with many tofu dishes, you're not looking to sear the tofu here, just to warm it up in the sauce. The caramelized flavor is supplied by the shiitake mushrooms, which should be cooked until they are well browned and crisp-edged. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can leave it out.

Categories     quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (15-ounce) package firm tofu, drained
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese Shaoxing or dry sherry
Juice of 1/2 lime, plus lime wedges for serving
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut or grapeseed oil
7 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced (4 cups)
1/4 cup sliced scallion
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed, outer leaves removed, inner core finely chopped (optional)
1 (1-inch) knob of ginger root, grated
1 large garlic clove, grated
1 small red chile, seeded and finely chopped
Salt, as needed
1/2 cup shelled edamame (defrosted if using frozen)
1/4 cup chopped soft herbs, such as cilantro, chives or basil

Steps:

  • Using the coarse holes of a box grater, shred the tofu. Spread tofu out on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the sauce and mushrooms.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing, lime juice and sesame oil.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot, then add the peanut oil; it should thin out on contact. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the scallion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chile and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the tofu from the towel into the skillet. Toss in the edamame and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until mixture is heated through. Season with salt as needed. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Serve with lime wedges.
