Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 carton soft or firm tofu -- drained and diced into 1/4-inch

cubes

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

4 teaspoons mushroom soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic

3 tablespoons chopped tarragon

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

Plus

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 pound brown Italian mushrooms

4 large shallots -- finely diced

OR

1 small onion -- finely diced

 

Simmer the tofu for 2 minutes in salted water, then set on paper toweling to dry

while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Combine the sugar, water,

mushroom soy sauce, and salt in a cup and set aside. Chop the garlic, tarragon,

and pepper to make a coarse paste or mixture.

 

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch skillet. When hot, add the

garlic-tarragon-pepper mixture and cook for about 30 seconds. Immediately add

the mushrooms, give them a stir, then saute until they're well browned and their

juices have been released then reabsorbed, about 7 minutes. Scrape them into a

bowl.

 

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and add the tofu. Cook over medium-high

heat, shaking the pan every few minutes, until the cubes are golden. Return the

mushrooms to the pan and add the shallots.

 

Add the reserved liquid to the pan and stir rapidly, cooking until everything is

well mixed and still moist. Remove from heat. Taste for salt and pepper.
