SHRIMP AND VEGGIE CHEAT SHEET WITH HOISIN DRESSING
Hoisin is a Chinese sauce made of soybeans. It has a strong flavor: it's a little sweet, a little salty, a little umami. It's kind of like a Chinese barbecue sauce!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Whisk the hoisin, soy, vinegar, Dijon, ginger, sesame oil and garlic together in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil. Add the bok choy to the bowl, then toss, then transfer them to one side of the baking sheet. Add the red pepper to the bowl, then toss in the remaining marinade, and transfer them to the center of the baking sheet. Toss the shrimp in the remaining marinade and arrange it on the last side of the baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the vegetables and shrimp. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are starting to char, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (The bok choy can be chopped into smaller pieces if desired.)
- Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Add a few shrimp and the vegetables to each bowl. Top with the sesame seeds, scallions, peanuts, crunchy noodles and cilantro. Drizzle with the sriracha, if using. Serve warm!
TOFU AND SHRIMP WITH HOISIN SAUCE
This is a great appetizer, or pupu as they call them in Hawaii. Serve a platter of this with toothpicks. Decrease the amount of red pepper if you want it less spicy. This comes from Pupus, an Island Tradition by Sachi Fukuda. This makes about 4-6 appetizer servings

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
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.

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.
