Sauteed Tofu with Bitter Greens image

Tofu takes on the flavors of its marinade: soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, lime juice, ginger, and garlic. It is cooked and served with sauteed, calcium-dense greens.

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 1-pound block extra-firm tofu
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili paste or Tabasco (optional)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 pounds bitter greens, such as collard, mustard, baby bok choy, or dandelion, washed, trimmed, and torn into pieces
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut tofu in half lengthwise, then cut each piece across into 6 slices. Place tofu on a paper-towel-lined plate. Cover with more paper towels; place another plate on top. Weight with a few soup cans. Chill 30 minutes so towels absorb excess water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce; sesame oil; chili paste or Tabasco, if using; lime juice; ginger; and garlic. Set aside. Transfer tofu to medium bowl; toss with half the marinade; let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, arrange tofu in a single layer in pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter; repeat with remaining tofu. Gradually add greens to skillet with remaining marinade. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to platter with tofu. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper; serve.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

This was a great way to use up some leftover tofu. I added a few extra vegetables to the dish, and it turned out even better than I expected.

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but this dish changed my mind. The tofu was so flavorful and well-cooked, and the bitter greens added a nice complexity to the dish.

This dish was an absolute delight! The tofu was perfectly sauteed, with a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior. The bitter greens added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the tofu and the savory sauce.
