Tofu with Bok Choy image

Made from soybeans and also known as bean curd, tofu is a popular East Asian food that's low calorie, cholesterol-free, and protein rich. Available in a variety of textures, from custardlike to firm, it has a mild taste on its own, but acts like a sponge for the flavors of the foods with which it is cooked. In this recipe, tofu is combined with steamed Chinese white cabbage, also known as bok choy.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons peeled, finely chopped ginger
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 pound baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound extra-firm tofu, sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Coarsely chopped cilantro, for serving
Scallions thinly sliced, for serving
1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced crosswise, for serving
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until sugar dissolves; set aside.
  • Steam the bok choy; bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot. Arrange bok choy in a single layer in a steamer, and place over simmering water. Cover, and steam until hot and tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Cook the tofu: Heat a large nonstick skillet or a wok over high heat. Add oil, and swirl just to coat bottom of pan. Pat tofu dry, and arrange in pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer tofu to a serving platter. Pour sauce over tofu, and top with cilantro, scallions, and serrano pepper. Serve with steamed bok choy and rice on the side.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I will add more ginger and garlic.
