STIR FRIED BOK CHOY WITH TOFU PUFFS



Stir Fried Bok Choy with Tofu Puffs image

A super quick and easy stir fried bok choy with tofu puffs that only uses five ingredients and takes 15 minutes to prep and cook. The crisp bok choy is lightly caramelized and combined with tender tofu in a savory and slightly sweet sauce. It is surprisingly satisfying to eat as a side dish, and sometimes I serve it as a light main dish for lunch over steamed rice. {Vegan, Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari to replace light soy sauce.

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS



Stir-Fried Tofu and Peppers image

This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound firm tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 scallions, white and green parts, cut on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths
Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Steps:

  • Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

TOFU AND BOK CHOY STIR-FRY



Tofu and Bok Choy Stir-Fry image

Categories     Herb     Soy     Vegetable     Stir-Fry     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Tofu     Bok Choy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry Sherry
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 1/2 cups thinly sliced trimmed bok choy
1 5-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 1/2 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Heat vegetable oil until very hot in heavy large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper. Stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add bok choy and stir-fry until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Mix in water chestnuts and green onions and stir-fry until onions are tender, about 1 minute. Add tofu and lightly stir-fry until tofu is just heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour over soy mixture. Stir-fry until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest bok choy: Look for bok choy with bright green, crisp leaves and firm white stalks. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or yellowing.
  • Wash the bok choy thoroughly: Rinse the bok choy under cold water, separating the leaves from the stalks. Be sure to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Cut the bok choy properly: Cut the bok choy into 1-inch pieces, separating the leaves from the stalks. The stalks take longer to cook, so cut them slightly thinner than the leaves.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the bok choy and tofu from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Cook the bok choy and tofu over high heat: High heat will help to sear the bok choy and tofu and give them a slightly charred flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or pan: If you overcrowd the wok or pan, the bok choy and tofu will not cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry the bok choy and tofu until they are tender: The bok choy should be tender but still slightly crunchy, and the tofu should be slightly browned and crispy.
  • Season the stir-fry to taste: Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fried bok choy and tofu is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried bok choy with tofu is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and it is a good source of protein and fiber. This dish is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your own taste.
