Steps:

• Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
• Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

HOLIDAY TOFU LOAF

Steps:

• Drain off excess water from tofu. In a food processor or with a potato masher, crumble tofu avoiding any large lumps. Add the vegetable bullion along with 1 tsp each of the sage, rosemary and savory and 1 tbsp of the maple syrup, mix well.
• Line a medium sized colander with cheese cloth, fill with tofu mixture. Cover the tofu mixture with a plate topped with a five lb weight (generally a few good sized tomato cans will do the trick). Leave tofu to press for at least three hours in the fridge.
• In the mean time, prepare your stuffing.
• Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine remaining ingredients (except for the stuffing) in a bowl, whisk together and set aside. After three hours remove the plate and weight from the tofu. Using a spoon, hollow out the tofu leaving a one inch shell. Fill shell with stuffing (Don't Overfill! The stuffing should only be inside the shell, not spilling over onto the sides) and cover with the extracted tofu. Pack the tofu layer down, then turn colander right-side up onto a deep baking sheet.
• Cover tofu loaf with half of the sauce mixture, being sure to spread the mustard grains evenly over the surface. Bake until golden brown (about 1 hour 15 min), basting with remaining mixture after the first 45 minutes.
