Hot And Spicy Tofu And Broccoli Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok, and stir-fry the tofu until lightly colored. Remove from the heat, and drain on paper towels. (See description for flavoring ideas).
• Add the remaining oil to the pan, then add the red pepper. Stir fry for three minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and the light part of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 15 seconds, then add the bok choy or baby broccoli.
• Stir-fry for about one minute, until coated with oil and beginning to wilt, and add the water. Cook, stirring, until the water evaporates, about two to three minutes, and stir in the tofu, the soy sauce and chili paste. (I had a hard time evaporating the water and ended up pouring it out of the pan before adding the soy, chili paste, and tofu.).
• Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the ingredients are well seasoned. Remove from the heat, sprinkle on the green part of the scallions (and maybe sesame seeds) and serve.

Steps:

• Cube tofu into approximately 1 by 2 inch pieces.
• Set on top of paper towels and press (not too hard, you don't want to mash the tofu) on the top with more paper towels to rid the tofu of excess moisture.
• Mix: chili garlic sauce, minced garlic, 1 T sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, ginger, and chicken/veg stock.
• Add tofu into chili sauce mixture. Make sure all pieces are in contact with the liquid. Let soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Put frying pan over med-high heat. Once pan has heated, add 1 T sesame oil.
• Put marinated tofu in pan, brown all sides.
• Remove tofu and set aside.
• Add cornstarch slurry to remaining marinade, mix. (Add a few more tablespoons of soy sauce or rice wine or vinegar if necessary--you want this to be enough to eventually coat the vegetables as a light sauce).
• Put mushrooms and peppers into frying pan. Stir constantly over high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add green onion and napa cabbage. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
• Pour leftover marinade over vegetables, stir. Add browned tofu and chopped cilantro. When heated through, remove from heat.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, sherry, chilli sauce, sugar and oyster sauce; stir. Marinate tofu cubes in the sauce ingredients for 15mins or more.
• Sprinkle ground beef with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in wok, stir fry onions, garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add dried chilli and scallion bottoms, stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add seasoned ground beef and continue to stir fry until browned.
• Add tofu and sauce, combine well. Let simmer 1-2mins.
• Add chilli flakes, if you like it really spicy!
• Add cornstarch mixture, stir fry until sauce thicken.
• Garnish with chopped scallion greens, and serve with jasmine rice.

Steps:

• For the Sauce: Place peanut butter and water in a sauce pan, heat on low heat and whisk until mixture is uniform.
• Add vinegar, honey, soy sauce and red chili flakes.
• Set aside.
• In a wok, heat half the oil, half the ginger, and half the garlic.
• When hot, add tofu and stir fry for a few minutes.
• Add tofu to sauce and set aside.
• To wok add the rest of the oil, ginger, garlic, and onion.
• When hot add the broccoli (which should be chopped into manageable bits, including the stems) and stir fry a few minutes.
• Add the soy sauce and stir fry until broccoli is just tender and bright green.
• Add sauce to broccoli and stir until everything is coated with sauce.
• Serve immediately over steamed rice.
• Top with lightly toasted chopped nuts and scallions.

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, toss to coat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.
