Stir Fried Bok Choy With Tofu Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Cut tofu across into ¾-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice in half so you have roughly 12 squares.
• Heat a large (12-inch), deep-sided nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet on medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the base. Place the tofu in a single layer, season each piece with a little salt and black pepper, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes more, adding more oil if needed. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
• Make the sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vegetarian stir-fry sauce or oyster sauce, cornstarch and sugar with ⅓ cup of water. Whisk until smooth.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the doubanjiang or chile oil (if you're using doubanjiang, add about 1 teaspoon of neutral oil) and stir for 15 seconds. Add the garlic, ginger and white parts of the scallion, and toss for 1 to 2 minutes, until the scallions are softened and everything is fragrant. If the pan starts to look dry, add a drop of oil.
• Add the bell pepper and Shaoxing wine, if using, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in the seasoning sauce and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, stirring once or twice.
• Add the baby bok choy, tofu and green parts of the scallion, toss gently to coat the tofu. Let it simmer on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens, the baby bok choy is wilted but still green and crisp-tender, and the tofu has absorbed some of the sauce. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Remove leaves from bok choy stems. Cut leaves into 2-inch pieces; cut stems into 1/4-inch diagonal slices (do not combine leaves and stems). Cut tofu into 1/4-inch slices. Coat tofu with cornstarch. Cut shallots into thin slices.
• Heat wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; rotate wok to coat side. Add 2 pieces tofu; cook 1 minute, turning once. Repeat with remaining tofu, removing tofu as necessary. Return tofu to wok. Add oyster sauce; toss until tofu is evenly coated. Remove tofu from wok.
• Heat wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; rotate wok to coat side. Add shallots; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add bok choy stems and salt; stir-fry 1 minute. Add tofu and bok choy leaves; cover and cook 1 minute.

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Heat vegetable oil until very hot in heavy large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper. Stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add bok choy and stir-fry until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Mix in water chestnuts and green onions and stir-fry until onions are tender, about 1 minute. Add tofu and lightly stir-fry until tofu is just heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour over soy mixture. Stir-fry until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.
