Tibetan Style Tofu Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the Swiss chard and tear it into pieces, removing the stems.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan, and stir-fry the green onions, along with the paprika, ginger, and 2 cloves of garlic.
• Stir in the soy sauce, tofu, and peas.
• In a separate frying pan, heat a tablespoon of oil until it's very hot.
• Stir in the black pepper.
• Add the Swiss chard, still slightly wet, and toss to coat with the oil and pepper.
• Cover the pan and let it steam for 30 seconds.
• Spread the greens on a serving platter and pour the tofu mixture on top.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the Korean chile powder and ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Stir in the soy bean paste, coating the beef. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Gently drop tofu into the soup and continue cooking until the tofu is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly add the egg into the soup, stirring gently to break it up. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, combine kelp, radish, dried shiitakes and 5 cups of water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer kelp and mushrooms to a cutting board, and transfer broth with radish pieces to a bowl and reserve. Chop kelp into 1-inch pieces, very thinly slice the mushrooms and add both to reserved broth.
• In the empty Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Add all but ¼ cup of the scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic, sesame seeds and ginger, and stir until well combined and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then add the reserved broth and vegetables, the zucchini and soy sauce, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini and radish are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in tofu and sesame oil, and cook until tofu is warmed through, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide jjigae in 4 bowls and garnish each with some of the reserved scallions. Serve hot with rice on the side.

Steps:

• Soak the dried red chilis in some water.
• Place the shallot, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and ginger root in a mortar and pestle and pound into a paste.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan.
• Stirfry the paste gently for about 5 mins til it softens.
• Add the turmeric powder and mix it in.
• Add a couple of spoons of the coconut milk and stirfry for a further 10 to 15 mins ensuring not to burn the mixture (add more milk if it gets too dry).
• Add the rest of the coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the palm sugar and bring to simmer, ensuring you never boil.
• Add the chopped up silken tofu and heat through.
• Add the juice of the lime.
• Serve with coriander leaf and sliced additional kaffir lime leaf as garnish.

Steps:

• In a large pot, spray bottom and put onions and spices. Sauté onions for about 4-5 minutes on high heat, or until golden brown.
• Add vegetable stock, chopped tomato, and tomato puree.
• Add cubed sweet potato and butternut squash, and then stir the mixture. Cover pot, reduce heat, and let simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes (or until the squash is almost tender). You want the stock to be bubbling, but not boiling.
• Add zucchini and tofu. Cover and let simmer for another 5 minutes or so, then add the spinach. Cover again and cook until spinach is wilted.
• Remove from heat and add the sweeteners. Stir everything together and make sure squash and sweet potatoes are soft.
• Enjoy!
