Best Tofu And Shrimp With Hoisin Sauce Recipes

TOFU AND SHRIMP WITH HOISIN SAUCE

Tofu and Shrimp With Hoisin Sauce image

This is a great appetizer, or pupu as they call them in Hawaii. Serve a platter of this with toothpicks. Decrease the amount of red pepper if you want it less spicy. This comes from Pupus, an Island Tradition by Sachi Fukuda. This makes about 4-6 appetizer servings

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS

Stir-Fried Tofu and Peppers image

This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 pound firm tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1-inch squares
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 scallions, white and green parts, cut on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths
Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Steps:

Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

SHRIMP WITH TOFU STIR-FRY

Shrimp With Tofu Stir-Fry image

This is a recipe I came up with, combining 2 different recipes. I really like this dish because it's so simple to make and healthy too. Don't let the list of ingredients turn you off, it is actually rather easy and fast to make. The list of vegetables can be substituted with what you may have already such as tomato, edamame (soybeans), corn, bell peppers, broccoli florets, bok choy, etc. Tip: Using different colored veggies makes this dish very pretty! Try to cut everything in a similar size as well. I consider this to be a family style dish, which means usually it's served alongside other dishes. So if you are serving more than 2 persons, I would suggest you add more shrimp, then serve this along with sautéed greens with garlic (i.e. spinach), and maybe add a soup to round out the meal. I usually double the ingredients and also double the amount for the broth/soup so we can soak it up with the rice. Hint: If you use dry shiitake mushrooms, use the soaking water for part of the broth (I always use it in soups now since my grandma told me about using it to add flavor to recipes).

Time 22m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1/3 lb shrimp, Cleaned and deveined (leave the shell or at least tail on for best flavor)
1 green onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 inch gingerroot, 6 very thin slices
3 tablespoons oil, for cooking
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (omit if you don't have any)
1 teaspoon cooking wine (Rice wine, Sherry or Mirin)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or 1 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 teaspoons salt (use less salt if broth is used)
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
1 dash pepper
2 cups firm tofu, cut into 1-inch square (one pkg)
1 tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup mushroom (button, straw, shitake)
1/3 cup green peas or 1/3 cup snow peas
1/3 cup carrot, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Mix ingredients in #1 and marinate the shrimp for about 5 minutes.
Heat up wok or skillet and add cooking oil. Stir-fry the shrimp until pink and just cooked and remove.
Use oil left in pan and sauté the ginger root and green onions until fragrant.
Add the broth #2 and bring to a boil, then add #3, bring it back to a boil again and cook for 2 minutes.
Add shrimp back in and #4 to the stir to thicken. (Make sure to mix the cornstarch and water throughly before adding, it tends to settle if left for even a few seconds).
Add sesame oil and transfer right away to a serving dish (the sesame oil is to enhance the flavor not used to cook the dish).
