Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey or 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 tablespoons ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 lb shiitake mushrooms or 3/4 lb button mushroom, wiped clean and stems removed
1 lb firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 quart baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add enough of the marinade to evenly coat them. Toss to combine.
  • Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a small baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the tofu.
  • Transfer the tofu to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Spread the mushrooms out on one or two baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Continue roasting the tofu and the mushrooms until the tofu is nearly dry and well browned and the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Arrange the spinach on serving plates. Drizzle with some of the remaining marinade from the tofu pan. Divide the tofu slices among the plates and top with some of the mushrooms. Serve.

GARLIC GINGER TOFU

From All Recipes. I don't think I would cook this for a full 30 minutes. Update: This works as written, but I think it would be easier to marinate the tofu in the ginger, garlic and soy sauce and then add it to a greased pan. Very tasty though.

Provided by Ching-He Huang

Categories     Dinner

Time 18m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

400g fresh firm tofu block
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2.5cm piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
150g fresh shitake mushrooms, sliced to 1cm strips
1 tsp dry toasted whole Sichuan pepper
1 tbsp chilli bean paste
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
250ml cold vegetable stock or mushroom stock
2 tbsp Chinkiang black rice vinegar
2 tbsp tamari or low-sodium light soy sauce
1 heaped tbsp cornflour
large pinch of toasted ground Sichuan pepper, to garnish
3 spring onions, trimmed and sliced

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu and press gently with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture. Alternatively, you could place the tofu on a clean tea towel, place a clean medium chopping board over the top and leave for 10 mins to press out any excess moisture. Slice into 1.5 x 1.5cm sized chunks.
  • Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a jug.
  • Heat a wok over a high heat and drizzle in the rapeseed oil. Add the garlic, ginger and chillies and stir for a few seconds. Tip in the mushrooms and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the Sichuan pepper and the tofu, gently stirring. Add the chilli bean paste and dark soy sauce, followed by the Shaoxing rice wine or sherry. Pour in the sauce ingredients, stir everything to combine, and bring to the bubble, cooking for 1 min.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle over the ground toasted Sichuan pepper and spring onions to serve.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu for the best texture. Extra firm tofu holds its shape better than softer tofu, making it less likely to crumble when cooked.
  • Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This will help the tofu to absorb the marinade and cook evenly.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the tofu to soak up the flavors of the marinade.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
  • Stir-fry the tofu until it is golden brown and crispy. This will give the tofu a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your dish.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

This garlic ginger tofu with mushrooms is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, the vegetables are tender and colorful, and the sauce is savory and addictive. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
