The flavors of ginger, garlic, and golden brown sesame seeds are locked inside tender tofu steaks that are seared over high heat until crispy. If you prefer a stronger miso flavor, use a dark brown or red miso. It's preferable to leave the tofu to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Bok choy is also called Chinese mustard cabbage, resembling a cross between celery and Swiss chard. While the stem is rather sweet, the leaves have a pleasant bitter flavor. If you can find baby bok choy, use it for this recipe; the cooking time will be reduced by almost half. You may quarter the whole heads of baby bok choy lengthwise and wilt them. Wilted bok choy is delicious served chilled the following day. Bok choy pairs well with any Asian-inspired dish. Serves 4 1 pound firm-style tofu Directions

Saag Paneer is an Indian dish with spinach and fried cheese. If you replace the cheese with firm tofu, you make "Saag Tofu". Here are 3 versions: Katie Haslett's Saag Tofu, Melody's "Saag Paneer / Thai Stew" with coconut milk, and Mark Foy's Saag Paneer with fresh ginger juice. Katie Haslett's Saag TofuIngredients

: Serve with rice. Variations:Use some chopped collard greens in place of some of the spinach. Ginger Juice (Fresh) - Reference - Spices -To make fresh ginger juice, take fresh whole ginger root
pieces and grate them. (Asian groceries often sell purpose-made ginger
graters; you can also find microplane graters specifically for ginger;
a regular fine grater can also be used.) Then press the juice out of the
pulp (a fine strainer works well for this). Alternatively, run ginger
root through a juice (as you would carrots). If ginger juice is to be
stored for more than 5 days, add some lemon juice to the ginger juice
to help it keep. Place it in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator. It should
keep about 5 days without lemon juice, and about 10 days with lemon juice
(or something acidic). A half cup of fresh whole ginger root pieces makes
about 3-4 tablespoons of ginger juice. A teaspoon of dried, powdered ginger
can be used in place of a tablespoon of fresh ginger juice, but the flavor
will not be the same. |
