TOFU AND SHRIMP WITH HOISIN SAUCE



Tofu and Shrimp With Hoisin Sauce image

This is a great appetizer, or pupu as they call them in Hawaii. Serve a platter of this with toothpicks. Decrease the amount of red pepper if you want it less spicy. This comes from Pupus, an Island Tradition by Sachi Fukuda. This makes about 4-6 appetizer servings

Shrimp and Veggie Cheat Sheet with Hoisin Dressing image

Hoisin is a Chinese sauce made of soybeans. It has a strong flavor: it's a little sweet, a little salty, a little umami. It's kind of like a Chinese barbecue sauce!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound jumbo shrimp (21/25), peeled, deveined, tails off
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 large clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup vegetable oil
12 ounces baby bok choy (3 to 5 heads, depending on the size), halved lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
4 cups cooked brown rice, or any grain you like, such as quinoa
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup crunchy chow mein noodles
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Sriracha, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Whisk the hoisin, soy, vinegar, Dijon, ginger, sesame oil and garlic together in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil. Add the bok choy to the bowl, then toss, then transfer them to one side of the baking sheet. Add the red pepper to the bowl, then toss in the remaining marinade, and transfer them to the center of the baking sheet. Toss the shrimp in the remaining marinade and arrange it on the last side of the baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the vegetables and shrimp. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are starting to char, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (The bok choy can be chopped into smaller pieces if desired.)
  • Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Add a few shrimp and the vegetables to each bowl. Top with the sesame seeds, scallions, peanuts, crunchy noodles and cilantro. Drizzle with the sriracha, if using. Serve warm!

SPICY SHRIMP MASALA



Spicy Shrimp Masala image

Black pepper, garam masala, Thai green chiles and Kashmiri red chile powder make this shrimp masala a multi-layered delight of spices - fiery and smoldering simultaneously - while lemon juice and cilantro add brightness and bring some relief. In coastal cities of South Asia like Karachi and states like Goa, this preparation is typical and perfectly suited for crunchy, sweet shrimp. That such complexity comes together in 30 minutes feels like a small miracle.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup ghee or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 Thai green chiles, finely chopped
5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup coconut milk, stirred (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Roti or pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Pat shrimp dry, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • Heat ghee over medium heat in a wok or large (12-inch) frying pan until it has melted, about 30 seconds. Add ginger, garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chile powder, cumin, turmeric and Thai green chiles. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and start to stick to the wok, about 15 minutes. Add coconut milk if you like it saucy.
  • Add shrimp. Stir so that shrimp are evenly coated, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally so the shrimp cook evenly, until the shrimp turn pink and appear firm, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, sprinkle with lemon juice, garam masala, cilantro and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper. Serve with roti, store-bought pita or by itself.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape best during cooking.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This helps to remove excess water and results in a firmer texture.
  • Marinate the tofu. This helps to infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the tofu until it is golden brown. This gives it a slightly crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the stir-fry. This adds color, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The hoisin sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use other sauces, such as teriyaki sauce or oyster sauce.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. This makes a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

This tofu and shrimp stir-fry 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 shrimp are cooked to perfection. The hoisin sauce adds a sweet and savory flavor to the dish, and the vegetables add color and texture. This stir-fry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
