SPICY STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH CORN, GREEN BEANS AND CILANTRO
Few dishes are as simple as the stir-fry, which just requires some chopping, a few seasonings and a blistering hot pan. This sweet and spicy stir-fry is a light meatless meal, loaded with fresh green beans, corn and tofu. Ginger, garlic and jalapeño provide a little heat.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu into 1/4-inch matchsticks, and place them on paper towels. Place another paper towel on top, and prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil, add the green beans and blanch one minute. Transfer the beans to a bowl of cold water, drain and dry on a kitchen towel.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates from the surface within a second or two. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the tofu. Stir-fry one to two minutes until it begins to color. Add the garlic, ginger and jalapeño, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds.
- Add the remaining oil and then the green beans, corn and scallions. Stir-fry for one minute. Add the salt, pepper and sugar, and toss together. Add the soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook 30 seconds. Uncover, add the cilantro and stir-fry for another 30 seconds to a minute until the green beans are crisp tender. Remove from the heat and serve.

TOFU WITH SIZZLING SCALLION OIL
This refreshing weeknight meal comes together in less than 15 minutes and barely requires turning on the stove. Aromatic garlic, ginger and scallions are gently heated in oil until they sizzle and infuse it, turning into a fragrant, lively sauce for mild silken tofu. Peppery arugula and a final drizzle of tangy cilantro sauce brighten the dish. Enjoy with steamed rice for a heftier meal, or top with fried eggs. Leftover tofu can be stored in the scallion oil and refrigerated; it will have absorbed even more flavor the next day.

Steps:
- Remove the tofu from its package; drain the tofu then pat it dry. Scoop spoonfuls of the tofu onto a large platter and arrange in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, combine neutral oil, sesame oil, scallions, garlic and ginger. Cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until oil is sizzling and garlic, ginger and scallions are softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cilantro and vinegar.
- Spoon hot scallion mixture over the tofu. Top with arugula and drizzle with the cilantro sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
