TOFU WITH MISO PEANUT SAUCE
Miso, a paste made from fermented soybeans and grains, has a rich, salty and complex flavor. It's high in B vitamins, protein and manganese, as well as many phytonutrients that are believed to have antioxidant properties. Pomegranate molasses, though a Middle Eastern food, is a nice complement in this recipe. You can find miso at Whole Foods and at markets that sell Japanese foods, as well as at some Asian markets. You can find pomegranate molasses at Middle Eastern markets. This makes enough sauce for a pound of tofu.

Steps:
- Put oil in a deep 10-inch skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, and cook just until they begin to sizzle, less than a minute. Add pork, and stir to break it up; cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses most of its pink color.
- Add scallions and stir; add stock. Cook for a minute or so, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon if necessary to loosen any stuck bits of meat, then add tofu. Cook, stirring once or twice, until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce; taste, and add salt and red pepper flakes as necessary. Garnish with cilantro if you like, and serve.

SEARED TOFU WITH MISO SAUCE
This basic tofu is delicious alone and with the miso sauce. But you have a host of other options as well: you can smother it with sautéed mushrooms or onions, you can put it in a sandwich with the works, or you can even slice it thinly then toss it with skinny udon noodles and peanut sauce. There are endless possibilities.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu then slice it crosswise into 6 pieces. Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until golden. At first it will twitch around as the water in the tofu turns to steam, but then it will settle down. (Note: Tofu has fat in it so it will brown without adding more oil.) Once the first side is browned, turn and cook the second side, around 10 minutes in all. Shake over a tablespoon or two of your sauce of choice (soy, tamari, Worcestershire), season with salt and pepper to taste, and immediately turn off the heat. You can move to Step 2 while the tofu cooks.
- While the tofu is cooking, using a small saucepan, mix the miso with the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat and cook while stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly, about a minute. Let it cook, then stir in the lemon zest and vinegar. Taste to make sure the mixture has enough lemon (if using Meyer lemon, you might want to add a little more juice).
- Place the tofu on a plate. Spoon the sauce over the finished tofu and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds.
Tips:
- Choose the right tofu. For this recipe, a firm or extra-firm tofu is best. It will hold its shape better when cooking and won't fall apart.
- Press the tofu. Pressing the tofu removes excess water, which helps it to absorb more flavor. To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Place another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet. Let the tofu press for 30 minutes.
- Cut the tofu into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly. You can cut the tofu into cubes, strips, or triangles.
- Marinate the tofu. Marinating the tofu in a flavorful mixture will help it to absorb even more flavor. You can marinate the tofu for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tofu from burning and sticking to the pan. Cook the tofu until it is golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite dipping sauce. You can also add the tofu to stir-fries, soups, or salads.
Conclusion:
Tofu with pork and miso is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, and the pork and miso sauce is rich and savory. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
