Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more as needed
1 scant tablespoon honey
1 small knob fresh ginger, grated
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook the tofu: Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the heat and quickly (and carefully!) add the tofu in a single layer. Return the skillet to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the tofu is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove the tofu to a plate. Add the coriander seeds and toast for 15 seconds. Add the ground pork in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and the red pepper flakes and brown over medium-high heat until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pork to the tofu.
  • Cook the vegetables: Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the snow peas and peppers and cook until they become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, ginger and lemon zest and juice. Simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning.
  • Finish: Add the pork and tofu back to the skillet and gently stir to reheat and combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and add the vinegar and additional soy sauce to taste.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon peanut or other oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1/4 to 1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup chopped scallions, green part only
1/2 cup stock or water
1 pound soft or silken tofu, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt to taste
Minced cilantro for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Put oil in a deep 10-inch skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. A minute later, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, and cook just until they begin to sizzle, less than a minute. Add pork, and stir to break it up; cook, stirring occasionally, until it loses most of its pink color.
  • Add scallions and stir; add stock. Cook for a minute or so, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon if necessary to loosen any stuck bits of meat, then add tofu. Cook, stirring once or twice, until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the soy sauce; taste, and add salt and red pepper flakes as necessary. Garnish with cilantro if you like, and serve.

  • Add the soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Cook for 1 more minute.

  • Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes (this will make it easier to slice). Then slice, serve, and eat with rice!

TOFU MUSHROOM SOUP



Tofu Mushroom Soup image

For a full meal in a bowl, serve this deeply flavorful soup with warm brown rice or noodles.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce dried mushrooms (about 1 cup), preferably porcinis
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms
1/2 pound fresh button or cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
6 slices fresh ginger, from the widest part of the root
2 tablespoons soy sauce
14 to 16 ounces tofu (1 box), either firm or soft, cut in 1-inch dice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Place dried mushrooms in a bowl or large heatproof measuring cup and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. If mushrooms are sandy, agitate from time to time. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place over a 1-quart measuring cup. Drain through the strainer, then twist mushrooms in the cheesecloth, holding them over the strainer, to squeeze out the last of the flavorful liquid. Discard reconstituted mushrooms or set aside for another use.
  • While porcinis are soaking, pull tough stems away from shiitake mushroom caps. Slice caps thin and set aside.
  • Combine the mushroom broth with enough water to make 9 cups liquid and place in a saucepan or soup pot. Add shiitake stems, quartered button or cremini mushrooms, halved head of garlic, salt and ginger slices, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to remove mushrooms, stems, garlic and ginger from broth. Add soy sauce to broth. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Bring broth back to a boil and add tofu. Reduce heat to a simmer or a gentle boil, cover partly and simmer for 30 minutes. Tofu will puff a little, and texture will become more porous and spongy.
  • Add thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and chives. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve.
