Green Tea And Tamarind-Marinated Tofu With Vegetables
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 2 tablespoons prepared tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon jasmine green tea leaves
- 1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and patted dry, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon canola oil, more if needed
- tamari, to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 large red onion, sliced
- 1 medium red pepper, chopped
- 2 cups packed broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- Place garlic, ginger, tamarind sauce, rice vinegar and tea leaves in a container with a tight fitting lid. Add tofu cubes and toss well. Marinate all day or overnight, shaking the container occasionally to distribute the marinade.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the tofu and reserve the marinade. Add tofu and tamari to taste to hot oil and cook, stirring almost constantly for 5 to 7 minutes, or until tofu is very hot. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add additional oil to the hot skillet if needed, followed by the vegetables and remaining marinade. Again, season to taste with tamari. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, or until broccoli is crisp-tender and pan juices have evaporated. Return tofu to skillet and toss to combine. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
