Number Of Ingredients 15

One 14-ounce package firm tofu, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons dark Asian sesame oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1/2 pound baby green beans, trimmed and broken in half if very long
Kernels from 2 ears of corn
2 tablespoons minced scallions
1 cup roughly chopped cilantro

STIR-FRIED CORN, SQUASH, AND TOMATOES WITH GINGER, GARLIC AND CILANTRO



Stir-Fried Corn, Squash, and Tomatoes With Ginger, Garlic and Cilantro image

Coconut oil gives this dish fragrance without heaviness. With a big bunch of Thai basil in hand, I wanted a sweet stir-fry with Thai flavors. I stir-fried the vegetables in coconut oil, and I loved the results. The medley has that coconut fragrance without the heaviness it would have with coconut milk. I served the vegetables with black rice, which was beautiful, but any other rice, noodles or grains like quinoa would work. Make sure that your corn is sweet and your tomatoes are juicy. You can also use the lower-priced tomatoes "for sauce" that may be at your farmers' market.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For best results, use a firm, ripe squash that is free of blemishes. Acorn squash, butternut squash, kabocha squash, and zucchini are all good choices.
  • Cook the squash properly: Squash should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the squash mushy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally grown produce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to make this dish, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or snow peas, or use a different type of sauce.
