How to Make Baby Bok Choy With Mushrooms And Tofu
- Pat 14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu dry with paper towels. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place 2 tablespoons cornstarch on a small plate.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Dip each tofu slice in cornstarch, coating both sides, and place in the hot wok.
- Fry tofu for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the crispy tofu to a large serving platter, cover with foil, and keep warm.
- Add 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the wok. Bring to a boil.
- Add 1 pound baby bok choy, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender and most of the broth has evaporated.
- While bok choy cooks, prepare the sauce (see below).
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the bok choy and arrange it cut-side down around the rim of the platter with the tofu. Cover to keep warm.
- Discard the ginger slices and any remaining broth from the wok.
- Reheat the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 8 oz sliced mushrooms.
- Stir-fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the prepared sauce to the wok and stir constantly until thickened and bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove the mushrooms from the sauce and arrange them over the tofu on the platter.
- Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the tofu, bok choy, and mushrooms.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately over rice or ramen noodles.
- Sauce Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth, 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
