Best 6 Asian Broth With Tofu And Rice Recipes

ASIAN NOODLES IN BROTH WITH VEGETABLES AND TOFU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and divide them among 4 large soup bowls.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 cups water with the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, and ginger and bring it to a simmer. Add the snow peas, mushrooms, and tofu to the pan. Simmer until the snow peas are crisp-tender and the tofu is heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide the lettuce, radishes, carrots, and scallions among the bowls. Ladle the hot soup over the noodles and vegetables. Drizzle each serving with a few drops of sesame oil and hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.

ASIAN-STYLE GARLIC TOFU

Steps:

• Remove excess moisture from the tofu by gently pressing it between towels. Then cut it into bite-sized cubes. (I cut mine about 3/4-inch.) Set aside.
• Make the sauce: Mince garlic. Then in a shallow pan (I use an 8"x8" glass baking dish) add the three ingredients for the garlic sauce. Stir to combine.
• Add tofu cubes to the sauce and gently toss until thoroughly coated. (*Optional: if you have time, cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or a few hours.)
• When ready, cook the tofu: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
• Once oil is hot, carefully add the marinated tofu (with any remaining sauce). Spread out the cubes in a single layer. Simmer and cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes or until lightly seared on one side. Flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice green onions and add to the pan during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. (Sometimes I add a little more hoisin or tamari if the pan becomes dry. The sauce should almost completely absorb into the tofu however.)
• Great served warm over brown rice (and garnished with sesame seeds or more green onions if desired).

YELLOW RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; saute until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add rice, broth, salt, and turmeric. Bring rice to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.

TOFU AND BROCCOLI FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium. Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and 1 teaspoon of the ginger, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, sugar and tofu, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has been absorbed and tofu is nicely glazed, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Transfer tofu along with juices to a shallow plate.
• In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium. Add onion and carrot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 teaspoon ginger until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice, jalapeño and peas, and drizzle over 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well combined and rice is golden in spots, about 3 minutes.
• Push rice mixture to one side of the skillet. To the empty side, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and eggs, and allow them to set a little before stirring. Cook until scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir egg into rice mixture, then stir in half of the scallions and half of the glazed tofu and any juices on the plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the fried rice in bowls, and top each with some of the remaining glazed tofu. Garnish with the remaining scallions.
