Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons peanut oil
3 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup white wine, sherry, or rice wine
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon Asian chili sauce or chili oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
6 to 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed, and cut into 1 x 1/2-inch slices (see page 168)
1 cup sushi rice
2 carrots, sliced into coins
1/4 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets (about 2 cups)
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 cups snow peas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wipe the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with peanut oil.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, lime juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, honey, chili sauce, parsley, and basil.
  • Add the tofu cubes to the marinade. Stir to coat well and set aside.
  • Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add 1 cup water, and stir to make an even layer. Add the carrots and cauliflower in a layer.
  • Layer the tofu in the pot, leaving some marinade in the bowl. Add the bell pepper and snow peas and pour the remaining marinade on top.
  • Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

This sweet and spicy tofu recipe was a hit with my family! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy.
