Hoisin Tofu Stir Fry
Sauce:
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
2 T. Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 T. sesame oil
1 T. tamari
Stir-Fry:
2 T. vegetable oil
1 pound extra-firm tofu, sliced, pressed/patted very dry, then cut into 2×1/2-inch logs
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into 3×1/2-inch strips
1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets, stalks peeled and sliced (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup walnut halves
1/3 cup water
Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Make sure tofu is patted very dry to prevent sticking. Add tofu to wok and stir-fry until lightly golden. Transfer tofu to a platter and reduce heat to medium-high. Add a tsp of oil to the wok. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Stir in red bell pepper, broccoli and walnuts and toss to coat with the garlic. Pour in water, toss vegetables, then cover the pan. Cook 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender but crunchy. Stir in tofu, then pour on the sauce mixture. Stir-fry 1 minute or until the sauce coats everything and is thickened. Serve on rice.
