Healthy Vegetables with Tofu




Source of Recipe


Marla


Recipe Introduction


Enjoy tofu and vegetables flavored with soy and sesame oil. Bean curd, called tofu
by the Japanese, is a rich source of protein made from soy beans in a process similar
to cheese making. It also is low in fat, contains no cholesterol, and is inexpensive.


List of Ingredients




Healthy Vegetables with Tofu



4 dried shiitake mushrooms
• 2 ounces bean threads (cellophane noodles)
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 1/2 cups small cauliflower flowerets
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (1 cup)
• 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
• 4 ounces fresh medium mushrooms, quartered (1-1/2 cups)
• 1 9-ounce package frozen French-style green beans, thawed
• 1 8-ounce can bamboo shoots, drained
• 8 ounces firm tofu (bean curd), well-drained and cut into 1/2-inch pieces



Recipe



1. In a small bowl cover shiitake mushrooms with warm water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
Rinse and squeeze to drain thoroughly. Cut mushroom caps into thin slices. Discard
stems. Set aside.

2. Soak bean threads in enough warm water to cover for 30 minutes. Drain well. Cut
into 3-inch lengths. Set aside.

3. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together 3 tablespoons water, soy sauce, sugar,
and sesame oil. Set aside.

4. Pour cooking oil into a wok or 12-inch skillet. (Add more cooking oil as necessary
during cooking.) Preheat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry cauliflower in hot oil
for 2 minutes. Add carrots and onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add fresh mushrooms;
stir-fry for 1 minute. Add thawed green beans, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms,
and bean threads; stir-fry about 2 minutes more or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

5. Stir sauce. Add sauce to the hot wok. Add tofu. Gently stir all ingredients together
to coat with sauce. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through.
Serve immediately. Garnish with carrot roses and cilantro or parsley sprigs, if
desired. Makes 4 servings.

Make-Ahead Tip: Soak mushrooms and bean threads; drain, cover and chill up to 4
hours. Prepare carrots, cauliflower and onions; cover and chill up to 4 hours. Prepare
as above.
