Cooking Light'S Red Cooking Tofu
- 1 1/2 cups organic vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 pound firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 (3.5-ounce) package shiitake mushrooms
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 3/4 cup minced green onions (about 4 medium)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a 2-cup glass measure, stirring with a whisk. Combine vinegar and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Press tofu cubes gently between several layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Remove stems from mushrooms; slice mushroom caps to measure 2 cups.
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil. Add onions and next 3 ingredients (through ginger). Stir-fry 1 minute. Add broth mixture. Bring to a simmer; cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook 5 minutes. Add tofu and mushrooms; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to high. Stir cornstarch mixture with a whisk; stir into tofu mixture. Cook, gently stirring constantly, 1 minute or until mixture thickens. Serve over rice.
