Asian Bok Choy and Mushrooms with Tofu

I received a bounty of bok choy in my CSA box, and adapted this recipe as a way to incorporate this fresh, crisp Asian veggie.

4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 12-ounce box extra firm tofu
  • 4 tablespoons sesame oil divided
  • ½ cup pareve chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger or a block of Dorot
  • 1 large bunch bok choy diced
  • 1 8-ounce package fresh mushrooms

Instructions

  • To drain tofu, put it between two plates with paper towels on either side. Put enough pressure on the top plate so the sides bulge without splitting.
  • Whisk together honey, soy sauce, corn starch and chicken stock; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil on medium-high heat, and brown tofu for 5 minutes.
  • Remove tofu; set it aside on a plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the pan.
  • Add ginger to pan, sautéing for 30 seconds (or longer if you're using Dorot cubes). Add bok choy and mushrooms. Put lid on; letting veggies steam for 5 to 7 minutes. Toss veggies every 1 to 2 minutes, to prevent burning.
  • Add tofu and honey-soy sauce mixture to veggies. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes with lid on. Remove lid; let sauce cook and reduce for 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve warm over brown rice.
