HOT AND SOUR SEARED TOFU WITH SNAP PEAS



Hot and Sour Seared Tofu With Snap Peas image

Impatience was the main reason I failed at searing tofu. For years, I had given in to the temptation to poke it, turn it, examine it, annoy it. Then I finally learned that, like any very moist ingredient (fish, mushrooms, tomatoes), the less you bother it, the browner and crisper it will get. Once I figured that out, searing tofu was easy. These days it's a fixture in our something-quick-for-dinner arsenal. In this recipe, I stir-fry it with sliced sugar snap peas. But any vegetable cut into small pieces (asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, green beans) works well, too.

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu
4 large garlic cloves, grated
2 small jalapeño chiles, seeds and veins removed if desired, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger root
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons peanut oil, more if needed
6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Sesame seeds, for serving
Cooked rice, for serving
Chopped cilantro or basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain tofu, wrap it with a clean dish towel or several layers of paper towels and place on a rimmed plate; top with another plate and a weight (a can works). Let drain further.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine garlic, chiles, soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, sesame oil, fish sauce and honey.
  • Unwrap tofu and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Pat slices dry.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Add peanut oil and let heat for 30 seconds, then carefully add tofu. Don't touch tofu for 2 to 3 minutes, letting it sear until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 2 to 3 minutes. Move tofu to one side of pan (or stack pieces on top of one another to make room in pan), then add sugar snap peas, scallions and, if needed, a few drops more peanut oil. Stir-fry vegetables until they start to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sauce and stir well, cooking until peas are done to taste, another minute or two. Spoon sauce all over tofu, unstacking it if necessary.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over tofu and vegetables and serve over rice, sprinkled with cilantro or basil.
