Zubereitung von Tofu Simmered In Hoisin Sauce By Deborah Madison
- **Prep the Tofu:** If using soft tofu, crumble it and set aside. If using firm or extra-firm tofu, press it to remove excess water. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes.
- **Brown the Tofu (Optional):** If you prefer browned tofu, cut the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices, then into triangles. Heat 2 teaspoons of peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, adding another 2 teaspoons of oil as needed.
- **Make the Hoisin Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine (or dry sherry), 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon peanut oil.
- **Simmer the Tofu:** Add 1/4 cup water or vegetable stock to the hoisin sauce mixture. Pour the sauce over the tofu (whether browned or not) in the skillet.
- **Cook:** Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more water or stock to reach your desired consistency.
- **Serve:** Serve the tofu and sauce over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately with your choice of stir-fried greens (spinach, green beans, or broccoli) on the side.
