Spicy Tofuprawn Stir Fry Recipes

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:

• For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then drizzle with some sesame oil and a little soy sauce in a large bowl and toss.
• For the stir-fry: While the noodles are cooking, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, sriracha and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, stirring continuously. Add the zucchini and stir it around, cooking it for 2 minutes more. Add the baby corn and broccoli and cook for a couple of minutes.
• While the veggies are still firm, pour in the sauce. Stir the veggies in the sauce and cook until the sauce is very thick, 1 to 2 minutes more. If it needs to be a little saucier, pour in 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water and splash in a little more soy sauce.
• Serve the stir-fry over the noodles with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some slice green onions.

Steps:

• Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 24 pieces and gently press between paper towels to remove the excess liquid; set aside 5 minutes to drain. Put the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then drain. Combine the Sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Return the tofu to the skillet along with the Sriracha mixture and cook, stirring, until well coated, about 30 more seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the torn basil.
• Divide the rice among plates and top with the stir-fry. Top with the peanuts, a few small basil leaves and more Sriracha.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, chile paste, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, garlic, cornstarch, and ginger together in a bowl.

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons rice wine in a medium bowl; add the beef, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl; set the bowl near the stove.
• Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons peanut oil, then the ginger, garlic and chiles; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, stirring or shaking the skillet occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to the sauce mixture and toss.
• If the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, then add the onion and stir-fry until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and sugar; stir-fry until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef and any juices to the pan and stir to combine. Serve over the rice.

Steps:

• Saute prawns and tofu in wok with oil. Remove onto plate.

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:

• Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
• Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Heat oil in wok over high heat. Add bell peppers, ginger, and garlic; sauté until peppers just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add tofu and green onions; toss 2 minutes. Add next 3 ingredients. Toss to blend, about 1 minute. Add spinach in 3 additions, tossing until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute for each addition. Mix in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle peanuts over.
