Sherry Tofu and Snow Peas image

My vegetarian friend Matthew and I get together to cook now and then (he being a newbie chef), and this was the first dish we made as his introduction to veggie cooking. Very tasty! Based on a recipe from Curtis Aikens.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb firm tofu or 1 lb extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 tablespoons corn oil or 3 tablespoons soy oil, divided
1/4 cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 cups snow peas
2 whole green onions, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh yellow onions
1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts or 1/2 cup quartered water chestnut
1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic
1/2 cup roasted cashews
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fry the tofu, covered, in 1 tablespoon of the oil until the tofu is nicely browned; remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, and cornstarch; pour over the tofu, stir well, and set aside to marinate.
  • Remove the ends and strings from snow peas and cut each one into 2 to 3 pieces.
  • Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, then plunge them into very cold water to halt further cooking.
  • In a skillet or wok heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and saute the green onions, minced yellow onion, water chestnuts, and garlic for 4 minutes; add the snow peas and cashews and stir well.
  • Add the tofu together with the marinade, lemon juice, and pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the snow peas and sauce reach desired texture.
  • Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used tamari instead of soy sauce and added some chopped carrots to the stir-fry.
