Tofu and Scallions image

An excellent yet simple tofu recipe that brings out the essential creaminess of soft tofu by contrasting it with bright touches of ginger and rich shitake mushrooms. We eat this for breakfast several times a week.

Provided by Zeke Koch

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I use peanut)
1 lb tofu, 1 inch cubes (soft)
1 cup shiitake mushroom, dried
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 scallions, julienned
1 tablespoon cornstarch (I use arrowroot)
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • First cover the mushrooms in roughly four cups of boiling water and soak while you're preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  • Mince the ginger, slice the tofu into 1 inch cubes, julienne the scallions. Mix the thickener (arrowroot, water, oyster sauce and sesame oil) in a small bowl.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan or wok on the stove. When it's hot add the oil and then the ginger. When the ginger starts to turn golden then add the tofu and shitake mushrooms. Almost immediately add about a cup of the mushroom soaking liquid and soy sauce.
  • Cook for 5 minutes turning once (be careful not to break up the tofu cubes). Toss the scallions on top, stir in the thickener and cook until the arrowroot turns clear. Serve with steamed rice.

MISO SOUP WITH TOFU, SPINACH, AND CARROTS



Miso Soup with Tofu, Spinach, and Carrots image

In ancient China, the soybean was considered to be one of five sacred grains, along with barley, millet, rice, and wheat. Here, in the form of tofu, the soybean shines with a little help from miso, spinach, carrots, and scallions.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups homemade or low-sodium canned vegetable or chicken stock, skimmed of fat

2 tablespoons white miso
1 scallion, sliced crosswise into 1-inch strips

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring stock and the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add carrots. Cook until carrots are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add spinach and tofu, and stir to combine. Continue cooking just until spinach is wilted and tofu is heated through, about 1 minute more.
  • Meanwhile, place miso in a small bowl, and stir in 1/4 cup cooking liquid until miso is dissolved. Add mixture to saucepan, stirring to combine. Do not let soup boil once miso has been added.

PEANUT SOUP WITH RICE AND SCALLIONS



Peanut Soup With Rice and Scallions image

Instead of white cubes of tofu bobbing in this African-style soup, where they look decidedly odd, I purée the tofu with a portion of the finished soup until everything is smooth. The tofu is there, but it doesn't intrude. And this is a method you can use with virtually any puréed soup. If you wish, you can purée the entire soup or leave it textured, with bits of sweet potatoes and peppers.

salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, approx
2 cups crushed tomatoes
5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cup peanut butter
6 ounces soft tofu
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup scallion, sliced, including the firm greens
