Provided by Jamie Vespa MS, RD

Categories     Dinner     Vegan

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 14-oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained
1 Tbsp. hoisin
2 Tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce
2 tsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

Steps:

  • Slice tofu width-wise into 6 slabs. Use a kitchen towel to gently press each slice to remove excess liquid; cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Combine hoisin, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir with a whisk.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add tofu and cook, untouched, for 3 minutes, until bottom of cubes are golden-brown. Toss and cook 5 extra minutes, tossing occasionally, to brown all sides. Add Asian glaze and cook 2 more minutes, stirring often, until tofu absorbs glaze and becomes caramelized. Remove from heat and serve.

GLAZED TOFU WITH CHILE AND STAR ANISE



Glazed Tofu With Chile and Star Anise image

This sauce - a dark, star anise-spiced caramel intermingled with rice wine, soy sauce, ginger and scallions - builds sweet, acidic and umami notes as it coats and infuses tofu. Sichuan hui guo rou, or twice-cooked pork, inspired the technique which is used here with tofu: The blocks are first seared whole, then torn into bite-size pieces and returned to the pan, where the craggy edges absorb the sauce. Additions from your pantry, such as a spoonful of doubanjiang, or fermented broad bean paste, fermented black beans or chile oil can invite deeper, more complex flavors. Serve warm with steamed rice and stir-fried greens.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (14-ounce) packages firm tofu, drained
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 whole star anise
1 cup vegetable broth or stock
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine
1/4 cup dark soy sauce (see Tip)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, scrubbed and thinly sliced
1 small hot dried chile
6 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces, greens thinly sliced
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the tofu blocks between paper towels and press gently to remove excess liquid.
  • In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of the tofu with salt and place in the pan; sear without moving until the contact side is browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces over and sear the other side until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
  • Carefully add 1/2 cup water, the sugar and star anise to the pan. (The mixture will sputter and steam.) Cook, stirring, until the syrup is reduced and turns deep amber, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the stock carefully (again being mindful of sputtering), Shaoxing, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chile and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced, syrupy and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Use your fingers to break the tofu into 1/2-inch pieces, return to the pan and add the scallion whites. Toss to coat with the sauce and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and discard the star anise and dried chile. Garnish with scallion greens and serve immediately with steamed rice.
