Pork And Tofu Stir Fry With Soba Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Cook soba noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain, and then rinse with cold water; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add tofu and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add bell peppers, broccoli, bok choy, garlic, and red pepper flakes; season with salt. Cover (pan will be very full) and cook, tossing occasionally until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter and 2 tablespoons water, then whisk in vinegar and soy sauce. Add reserved noodles, tofu, and sauce to pan with vegetables. Cook, tossing until noodles are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender but still firm to bite. Drain well, then return to pot.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle pork with salt, pepper, and five-spice powder. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, and vinegar; stir 30 seconds.
• Add pork, green onions, and radishes to noodles and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• It is best to have everything prepped before starting.
• Combine the stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and chili-garlic sauce.
• Heat wok or large frying pan to medium hot.
• Add the oil, pork, garlic, and pepper flakes.
• Stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning and cook until pork is cooked through and lightly browned.
• Add the tofu and bamboo shoots and stir gently until heated through.
• Only about 1 minute.
• Stir the sauce one last time and pour into wok or pan.
• Stir gently until sauce is thickened and the tofu and pork is totally covered by sauce.
• Top with scallions.
• Eat alongside or over steamed rice and with an Asian veggie.
• Yum!

Steps:

• Bring 3 quart water to boil in a large pot.
• While water heats, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and vinegar until smooth and set aside.
• When water boils add soba noodles and cook 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic turns golden (less than a minute).
• Stir in broccoli, water and sake; cover and cook 3-4 minute.
• Stir in carrots, tofu and soy sauce mixture; cook for another minute or 2 until sauce thickens then reduce heat to low.
• When soba noodles are al dente, drain and rinse them. Add to the vegetables and stir until they are coated with sauce.
• Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens. Cook the greens 1 to 2 minutes, until just tender, and transfer with a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out the water (you don't have to squeeze them completely dry). Chop coarsely.
• Cook the noodles. Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add the noodles, and stir to separate the strands. Add a couple of tablespoons cold water, just so the water doesn't boil over. Boil somen noodles for two minutes, rice vermicelli for five to seven minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place in a bowl of cold water, then drain and toss with the sesame oil. Set aside.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirl to coat the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the pork, and stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the meat is cooked through and there are no longer any traces of pink.
• Add the remaining oil, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant and beginning to color, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the greens, noodles, soy sauce and stock or water. Stir together until heated through, and serve.
