Categories     Tofu

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head bok choy (about 1.5 pounds)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 block firm tofu (about 1 pound), cut into quarter-inch slices and patted dry
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 or 2 fresh hot chiles (like jalapeño or Thai), seeded and minced
8 ounces daikon radish, cut into quarter-inch coins
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
Black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the leaves from the stems of the bok choy. Trim the stems as necessary, then cut them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the leaves into wide ribbons and keep them separate from the stems. 2. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, slide in the tofu, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until the bottoms are crisp and golden, 3 to 5 minutes; carefully flip and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. When the tofu slices are done, transfer them to paper towels to drain. 3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and raise the heat to medium-high. When it’s hot, add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chile and cook, stirring, for just 1 minute. Add the bok choy stems and daikon and cook, stirring occasionally, until they just lose their crunch, about 3 minutes. 4. Add the bok choy leaves and about 1⁄2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the stems and radish are fully tender, 5 to 10 minutes; add a little more water if necessary. Return the tofu to the pan, stir in the soy sauce, and sprinkle with black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature.

STIR-FRIED DAIKON



Stir-Fried Daikon image

From Farmer John's Cookbook, The Real Dirt on Vegetables. This cookbook is a really great guide to eating seasonal vegetables. We have been getting a lot of strawberry daikon in our csa box and I needed a great way to use it up. This recipe is quite tasty. I add tofu to it and serve over brown rice. I leave out the oil and instead use a quick spray of oil on the wok. I add sake if the vegetables start to stick. Although I change the recipe to fit my diet, I'm posting as written.
