Tofu With Sweet Ginger Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute. Add tofu to the pan with tamari, and stir to coat. Cover, and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Squeeze lime juice over tofu before serving.

Steps:

• Slice the tofu block in half horizontally or cut into slabs 1" thick. Place in a colander and drain for 10-15 minutes.
• While the tofu is draining, prepare the marinade. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Place the tofu in a square or rectangular nonreactive pan. If the tofu is sliced, arrange the slices close together in the bottom of the pan or on top of one another in a double layer. Pour the hot marinade over the tofu, being sure to cover it with the marinade. Cool, then cover with a lid or seal tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• The tofu will hold for a week or two in the refrigerator, as long as it's sitting in the marinde in a well sealed container. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Gently prick a few holes in the tofu with a toothpick (this will help the marinade to soak into it, giving better flavour), then cut into bite-size cubes.
• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and toss in the tofu pieces. Set aside to marinate for 10-15 mins.
• Heat a wok over high heat and add half the groundnut oil. When the oil starts to smoke, add the ginger slices and stir-fry for a few secs. Add the pak choy leaves and stir-fry for 1-2 mins. Add a small splash of water to create some steam and cook for 2 mins more. When the leaves have wilted and the stems are cooked but still a little crunchy, season with salt and transfer to a serving dish.
• Rinse the wok under cold water, then reheat it and add the remaining oil. When it starts to smoke, add the tofu pieces (retaining the marinade liquid) and stir-fry for 5-10 mins. Take care not to break up the tofu as you toss it to get it browned evenly on all sides. Season with the rice wine and rice vinegar. Add the remaining marinade liquid, bring to the bubble and let the liquid reduce. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes and toss well. Spoon onto the pak choy and serve immediately with jasmine rice, if you like.

Steps:

• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a bowl. Use as a marinade and/or dipping sauce for pan-seared, grilled or plain tofu.
