Mimi's Archive


List of Ingredients

1 pound extra firm tofu
2/3 cup tamari soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, grated
1 large onion, coarse chopped
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 large red pepper, coarse chopped
4 stalks bok choy
1 large zucchini, sliced 1/2" thick
1 cup cooked white rice
3 tablespoons sesame oil


Recipe

Simmer the tofu in the soy sauce with the gingerroot, onion, and the 2-1/4 cups water for 1 hour. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 5. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place the red pepper, bok choy, and zucchini in a large, shallow, ovenproof dish and pour the tofu and marinade over them; raise for 30-60 minutes, depending on how you like your tofu or how much time you have. I usually cook it until the tofu is browned and the sauce is bubbly. To serve: Place the cooked white rice on the bottom of the plate. Cover with the braised vegetables and then the tofu. For garnishes: Sliced hot peppers, sliced pickled garlic, sambal or other hot sauce/paste. For variation: Dice the tofu into large cubes. Cook as called for.
