Tofu And Edamame Stir Fry Recipes

TOFU AND EDAMAME STIR FRY

Steps:

• Wrap the tofu in a clean tea towel and press well to remove the excess moisture (this is much easier if it has been frozen and then defrosted first). Cut it into cubes and coat it with soy sauce, salt, pepper, and dried chillies then set aside
• Boil the edamame for 10 minutes or until soft enough to eat
• Boil the soba noodles according to the instructions on the packet
• Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil into a frying pan and shallow fry the tofu, turning regularly so all sides brown
• Meanwhile, add some more oil to a wok or large frying pan and add the onions and chillies (if you don't have separate pans, then precook the tofu until crisp then set to one side)
• Once the onions and chillies have started to brown, add the garlic, ginger, and all spice, then the carrot, pepper, and greens. Also add a generous dash of soy sauce, the yeast extract, and maple syrup
• If required, add a couple of tablespoons of water to prevent the pan from drying out and burning the dish
• After the veg has started to soften, add the noodles, edamame, and tofu. Mix well and ensure that all items are heated
• Season to taste and garnish with spring onions

SPICY TOFU AND EDAMAME BEANS

Steps:

• To make the bean curd: Heat the groundnut oil in a large flat-bottomed pan over a medium heat. Add the bean curd, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the light soy sauce and cook until the sauce has reduced and the bean curd is browned on one side. Using a small palette knife or fork, lift and turn each piece, careful not to break the bean curd. Cook just to color the second side.
• Add the dark soy sauce, and vinegar, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Season the dish with the dried chile flakes. Transfer the bean curd to a serving plate and set aside.
• To make the edamame: Reheat the pan and add the groundnut oil. Stir-fry the chile for a few seconds, and then add the edamame beans. Add a sprinkle of water to help create steam, and cook for less than 1 minute. Season the edamame with the light soy sauce, and vinegar, then stir in the chopped cilantro.
• To serve, pour the edamame beans over the bean curd and serve immediately. For a fuller meal, serve with steamed rice.

FRIED RICE WITH SCALLIONS, EDAMAME AND TOFU

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet until very hot. Add the garlic, scallions and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened and aromatic, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice, red pepper, edamame, corn and tofu and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Make a 3-inch well in the center of the rice mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of canola oil, then add the eggs and cook until nearly fully scrambled. Stir the eggs into the rice mixture, then add soy sauce and incorporate thoroughly. Serve hot.
