Categories     dinner, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 pound firm tofu (bean curd), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Chinese brown bean sauce
2 cups water
4 large ribs bok choy, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon sake or sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • In a wok, heat the oil for deep frying to 375 degrees, or until a piece of scallion placed in the oil bubbles and sizzles rapidly. Pat the tofu cubes dry with a paper towel. Fry the cubes in the oil for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. When the cubes are cool, cut each one in half.
  • Pour off the frying oil from the wok. Over high heat, add the peanut oil to the wok, then the garlic and brown bean sauce, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the fried bean curd pieces, the water and the bok choy and bring to a boil. Cover the wok, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat, add the sake or sherry, the sugar and as much of the cornstarch mixture as is needed to thicken the dish, stirring constantly. Add the oyster sauce and scallions and mix well. Garnish with coriander and serve with plain boiled rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings if part of a meal of several courses

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 3-inch-by-3-inch-by-1-inch pieces bean curd (tofu)
2 cups oil for frying
1/2 pound lean raw pork
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sake or dry sherry

Remove the bean curd, drain, cool, and cut into 1/8-inch julienne strips. Set aside. Cut the pork into similar strips, and mix with the next 5 ingredients. Cut the bamboo shoots, celery and ham into similar strips. Soak mushrooms 15 minutes in warm water, discard the stems and cut into similar julienne strips. Mince garlic.

  • Add bean curd, bamboo shoots, celery and mushrooms, and stir-fry 10 seconds.
