Crispy Tofu With Shiitakes and Chorizo
Serves 2
1 pound extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slabs
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
3 ounces cured chorizo (1 1/2 small links), diced (or substitute cured Chinese sausage)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, dark green parts reserved for garnish
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 to 4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons mirin or dry sherry.
1. Using paper towels, pat tofu dry. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Place tofu slabs in pan and cook, peeking as little as possible, until golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain slabs on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Increase heat to high. Add mushrooms, chorizo and white and light green parts of scallion. Cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and light golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, soy sauce and mirin or sherry. Cook until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 1 minute more.
4. If tofu is no longer hot, push vegetables in pan to one side; add tofu and cook until heated through. Transfer hot tofu to serving plates and top with mushroom mixture and pan sauce. Sprinkle with dark green scallions.
Sounds quite good. Been years since I’ve fixed tofu as the ex didn’t like it (claimed she was allergic, and maybe she was but she ate many other soy bean products with no problem so???) and I just got in the habit of not using it. Also need to pick up some peanut oil, keep forgetting it for some reason. 🙄 Will have to pick some up some of both and try this. 😎
