SOY-BRAISED TOFU WITH BOK CHOY



Soy-Braised Tofu With Bok Choy image

This Chinese-style braised tofu is an ideal midweek dinner over rice or noodles. Shallow frying the tofu first makes it sturdier and prevents it from breaking apart in the sauce. (You could also deep-fry or use an air fryer.) Cutting the tofu into thicker pieces means that each mouthful is crisp yet plump, with a soft interior. This is an adaptable dish; when adding the bell peppers, you could add more vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, snow peas or whatever you have on hand. Those familiar with restaurant-style braised tofu may expect more sauce, but in this homestyle version, the seasoning sauce delicately coats the tofu and vegetables without drowning them. That said, double the sauce if you prefer.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry
Neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon doubanjiang or chile oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
4 scallions, trimmed, white and green parts separated and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bell pepper (any color), stem and membrane removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine (optional)
4 baby bok choy, trimmed and halved through the stem
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetarian stir-fry sauce or oyster sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Cut tofu across into ¾-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice in half so you have roughly 12 squares.
  • Heat a large (12-inch), deep-sided nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet on medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the base. Place the tofu in a single layer, season each piece with a little salt and black pepper, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes more, adding more oil if needed. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Make the sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vegetarian stir-fry sauce or oyster sauce, cornstarch and sugar with ⅓ cup of water. Whisk until smooth.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the doubanjiang or chile oil (if you're using doubanjiang, add about 1 teaspoon of neutral oil) and stir for 15 seconds. Add the garlic, ginger and white parts of the scallion, and toss for 1 to 2 minutes, until the scallions are softened and everything is fragrant. If the pan starts to look dry, add a drop of oil.
  • Add the bell pepper and Shaoxing wine, if using, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in the seasoning sauce and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, stirring once or twice.
  • Add the baby bok choy, tofu and green parts of the scallion, toss gently to coat the tofu. Let it simmer on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens, the baby bok choy is wilted but still green and crisp-tender, and the tofu has absorbed some of the sauce. Serve with rice or noodles.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon potato starch
1 tablespoon water
2 pinches salt
¼ teaspoon vegetable oil
4 heads baby bok choy
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package sliced portobello mushrooms

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Mix the potato starch and water in a small bowl, and stir it into the oyster sauce mixture until smooth.
  • Fill a pot with water, bring to a boil, and stir in salt and vegetable oil. Place the bok choy into the boiling water, and cook until tender, shiny, and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the bok choy, and arrange attractively on a serving platter.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok until the oil shimmers, then toss the green onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 20 seconds; stir in the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms begin to shrink slightly. Sprinkle the mushrooms lightly with salt. Continue to cook the mushrooms, stirring often, until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the oyster sauce mixture, then stir until the sauce is thickened and coats the mushrooms, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the thickened mushroom sauce over the bok choy; serve immediately.

TOFU AND BOK CHOY WITH GINGER-TAHINI SAUCE



Tofu and Bok Choy With Ginger-Tahini Sauce image

This simple dish showcases the uniquely silky texture of soft tofu. The tofu is steamed on top of a layer of bok choy, eliminating the need for a formal steamer and making this meal a cinch to prepare. (Napa or savoy cabbage leaves would also make a nice bed for the tofu.) Once steamed, the warm, mild tofu soaks in all of the bright flavors of a tangy and creamy tahini sauce that's spiked with aromatic ginger and fragrant herbs. For a heftier meal, either double the tofu or serve with a side of rice. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.

Time 20m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise through the core
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14- to 16-ounce) package soft (not silken) tofu, drained and cut into 4 equal squares
6 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped scallions (from about 1 scallion), plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large skillet with a lid, arrange bok choy in an even layer to cover the bottom of the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Nestle the tofu pieces on top of or in between the bok choy, depending on the depth of your pan. Add ½ cup of water to the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover securely to prevent steam from escaping, reduce heat to medium and steam until bok choy is tender and tofu is warm throughout, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, scallions, cilantro and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk until well blended, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Using a spatula or large slotted spoon, transfer bok choy and tofu to 4 serving plates. (Discard any remaining water in the skillet.) Spoon some of the sauce over the tofu and garnish with scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
