Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound firm tofu -- frozen

thawed and well pressed

1/4 cup shoyu or natural soy sauce -- PLUS

2 tablespoons shoyu or natural soy sauce

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1/4 cup flesh lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons kuzu powder

1 tablespoon cold vegetable stock or water

1 tablespoon peanut oil

1 large onion -- sliced thin

8 cloves garlic -- minced

4 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

6 cups broccoli -- up to 8

cut into small florets and stems

3/4 cup vegetable stock -- up to 1

2 teaspoons lightly toasted sesame seeds -- up to 4

 

Freezing gives tofu a light, spongy texture and makes it

super-absorbent. Lots of lemon juice and fresh ginger add zing to this

dish. Try it over noodles or rice.

 

Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch dice. In a bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the shoyu

with the dark sesame oil and lemon juice. Add the tofu and marinate for 10

minutes or so, occasionally stirring gently.

 

Combine the kuzu and cold stock or water; set aside for 2 to 3 minutes,

until the kuzu is dissolved thoroughly. Whisk in the remaining shoyu.

 

Set a wok over high heat. Pour the peanut oil around the rim, then tilt

the pan to coat the sides. Add the onion and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes,

until translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Continue to stir-fry,

gradually adding the broccoli.

 

Add the tofu, marinade, and 3/4 cup of the stock. Cover the wok and steam

briefly, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and still bright green. If

necessary, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more stock and steam for 1 to 2 minutes

longer.

 

Add the dissolved kuzu and shoyu mixture and stir constantly until the

liquid thickens. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
