Categories Wok Onion Tomato Stir-Fry Vegetarian Tofu Deep-Fry Vegan

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 cups canola oil, for frying, plus 3 tablespoons
1 1/4 pound medium or firm tofu, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
3 tablespoons mirin (rice wine)
1/2 cup green onions, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
Salt, to taste

Steps:

Heat 4 cups canola oil in a 2-quart pot to 375°F. Working in batches, deep-fry the cubes of tofu until golden brown, making sure they don't stick to each other. Wait between batches for oil to return to 375°. Drain tofu on paper towels.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot. Add 3 tablespoons canola oil. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring carefully, just until tomatoes begin start to break down, about 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze with mirin and cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tofu and green onions, stir, and season with salt to taste.

Packaged stir-fry mix and pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms can easily be found in the produce section of most grocery stores, and make it possible for this healthy meal to come together in 15 minutes or less.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cups frozen cooked brown rice
1-inch piece ginger
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons garlic chili sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
12 ounces baked tofu
3 tablespoons canola oil
One 3.5-ounce package sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 2 cups)
One 1-pound package fresh stir-fry vegetable mix (not frozen)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roasted and salted cashew halves and pieces

Steps:

Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.

Tips:

To ensure the tofu is crispy, make sure to press out as much liquid as possible before cooking.
If you don't have a tofu press, you can wrap the tofu in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Then, place another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, like a can of beans or a heavy skillet.
For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes work particularly well in this dish.
If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Serve the stir-fried tofu and tomatoes over rice or noodles. You can also add a side of steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried tofu and tomatoes dish is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, the tomatoes are sweet and juicy, and the balsamic vinegar adds a tangy touch. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a light lunch. It is also a great way to use up any leftover tofu or tomatoes. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give this stir-fried tofu and tomatoes dish a try.
