Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 quart vegetable broth
2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut in half
Pinch sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon Sambal
1 pound firm tofu
1 cup bread crumbs, Panko preferred
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dried Hawaiian chile, chopped
1 pound Chinese broccoli, roughly chopped
1/2 pound udon noodles, cooked
1 bunch green onions, julienned
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup peanuts, roasted and salted

Steps:

  • To prepare the soup, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vegetable broth, ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sambal. Allow to simmer 15 minutes to mingle the flavors.
  • To prepare the tofu steaks, cut the tofu block lengthwise, then cut in half to make 4 slabs. Lay several layers of paper towels on a cutting board then place the tofu, side by side, on top. Cover the steaks with more paper towels and press down to drain out some of the water in the curd (making it denser and hold together better when cooked.) Combine the bread crumbs, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of tofu into the beaten eggs then dredge in the seasoned bread crumbs to coat. Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu steaks 4 minutes each side. Remove to a platter lined with fresh paper towels. Add sesame oil to the skillet, stir-fry the ginger and garlic with the chili for 2 minutes to build a base flavor. Add the broccoli and saute 3 minutes until it begins to soften, season with salt and pepper. Divide the udon noodles and spicy broth among 4 bowls. Add the broccoli then lay a piece of tofu on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, and peanuts before serving.

Categories     Appetizer     Entree     Side

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups vegetable broth ((use dashi for more traditional miso soup // see notes above))
1 sheet nori ((dried seaweed // optional // cut into large rectangles // 1 sheet yields 1/4 cup))
3-4 Tbsp white or yellow miso paste
1/2 cup chopped green chard or other sturdy green
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup firm tofu ((cubed // use silken tofu for more traditional miso soup))

Steps:

  • Place vegetable broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a low simmer.
  • In the meantime, place miso (starting with lesser end of range) into a small bowl, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth. This will ensure it doesn't clump when added to the soup later. Set aside.
  • To the broth add chard (or other greens of choice), green onion, and tofu (if using silken, add at the end of cooking) and cook for 5 minutes. Then add nori and stir. Remove from heat, add miso mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Taste and add more miso or a pinch of sea salt if desired. Serve warm. Best when fresh.
