Ginger Tofu Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cloves of garlic, the ginger, honey, Sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce. Set aside.
• Wrap the tofu in a dish towel, then place a plate on top. Let drain for 10-15 minutes, then remove the plate, unwrap the tofu, and slice into cubes.
• In a wok or large frying pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the tofu and pan fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic and the onion and stir until softened, about 1 minute.
• Add the carrot, bell pepper, and edamame and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the soba noodles, reserved sauce, and sesame seeds. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Garnish with green onions, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Slice tofu into 3-4 horizontal slices. Drain well by placing between 2 cookie sheets lined with paper towels. Weight down the top cookie sheet with canned goods or a cast iron skillet to "press" the moisture out of the tofu. Keep changing the paper towels until no more moisture can be pressed from the tofu. This is the key to crispy tofu. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1" cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to coat.
• While drying the tofu, prepare the sauce. Combine sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and water. Mix in blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes. Flip the tofu as needed to brown all sides. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is carmelized, remove to plate and keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the veggies and toss to coat. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or just to al dente. Add the sauce and let it thicken just slightly. Add the tofu and sesame seeds and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the tofu has soaked up all the flavors.
• Serve warm with rice or quinoa or on its own. Eat right away as the tofu will lose its crispiness as it sits and cools.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet or wok. Stir in onions and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. In a small sauce pan combine water, rice wine vinegar, honey and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes and stir in cornstarch mixture. Simmer until sauce thickens. Add carrots and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes. Add bok choy to skillet and toss to coat. Pour thickened sauce over vegetables and tofu. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately with rice.

Steps:

• Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
• Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.

Steps:

• Halve tofu block lengthwise; slice each half into 8 rectangles. Arrange on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; top with more paper towels and another baking sheet. Weight with canned goods or a skillet. Refrigerate overnight or at least 20 minutes.
• Transfer tofu to a shallow dish. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil with 1 tablespoon water; pour over tofu. Marinate 5 minutes (reserve marinade).
• Heat canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook tofu until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set tofu aside.
• Stirring constantly, cook onions in skillet over high heat until browned, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook 2 minutes. Add red pepper and bok choy stems; cook 3 minutes. Add peas and ginger; cook 1 minute. Add marinade, cornstarch mixture, bok choy greens, and tofu. Cook until heated through. Season with soy sauce as desired. Serve with limes.

Steps:

• Heat up a skillet or Wok.
• Bring soy sauce, garlic, ginger & wine to boil.
• Add tofu cubes, cover & simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Remove tofu & remaining sauce from wok/skillet.
• Heat oil in wok & stir fry vegetables over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
• Add remaining sauce, tofu & cashews.
• Heat & serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute. Add tofu to the pan with tamari, and stir to coat. Cover, and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Squeeze lime juice over tofu before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the marinated tofu: Combine the tamari or soy sauce, shaoxing rice wine and salt in a bowl. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice mix: Combine cumin, gochugaru, sugar and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Drain the tofu. Place the potato starch or cornstarch in an even layer on a plate, add the marinated tofu cubes and turn gently to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over high for 3 minutes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and add a tofu cube. If the oil sizzles, it's hot enough. Add all the tofu cubes, being careful of spattering, arranging them in one layer and separating them from one another. Reduce the heat to medium and allow the tofu to cook, undisturbed, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottom is golden. Flip the tofu and cook until golden on all sides. Transfer the tofu to a plate lined with paper towels. Wipe out the pan.
• Add a little more oil to the pan, toss in the onion, chile, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cauliflower, season with salt and stir-fry for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cauliflower is just tender. (Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, if needed, to help move it along, while still keeping the dish dry.) Add the tofu, along with the spice mix, and stir to combine. Take the pan off the heat.
• Taste and season with a touch of salt, if needed. Top with the cilantro and sesame seeds, then toss everything together, and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Stir together the soy sauce, honey and vinegar in a bowl, then set aside.
• Pat the tofu chunks dry, then season well. Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Fry the tofu for 5 mins until golden, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 min more. Tip the tofu mixture into a bowl, pour over half the soy dressing and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add the vegetables and cook for 5 mins until beginning to turn golden, then add a good splash of water and cook for 3-5 mins more until tender.
• Stir the cornflour and 1 tbsp water into the remaining soy dressing, then tip into the wok, allow to bubble for 30 seconds, stirring to coat everything in the sauce. Sprinkle over the spring onion, sesame seeds and coriander. Serve with rice.
