• Tofu steaks:
• 1 (12.3-ounce) package reduced-fat firm silken tofu, drained
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• Ginger sauce:
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
• Vegetable stir-fry:
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup yellow bell pepper strips
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1/2 cup chopped plum tomato
• 2 cups cooked angel hair pasta or somen (wheat noodles; about 4 ounces uncooked pasta)

1. To prepare the tofu steaks, cut tofu lengthwise into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Place the tofu steaks on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Cover the steaks with additional paper towels, and let stand 5 minutes.
2. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (flour through black pepper). Dredge each tofu steak in flour mixture. Dip into egg; dredge again in flour mixture. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu steaks; cook 6 minutes, turning after 3 minutes. Remove from skillet; cut each tofu steak into 4 wedges. Keep warm.
3. To prepare the ginger sauce, combine vinegar, sugar, 1/2 cup water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; stir into sugar mixture. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute or until thick. Remove from heat; stir in ginger. Keep warm.
4. To prepare vegetable stir-fry, heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and snow peas, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add tomato, and stir-fry 1 minute. Serve over pasta, and top with ginger sauce and tofu wedges.
