Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 cakes tofu -- pressed and cubed

SAUCE:

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root

4 tablespoons brown sugar or honey

6 tablespoons white vinegar

3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

1/4 cup tomato paste or catsup

**********************

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cups thinly sliced onions

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root

2 medium carrots -- diagonally sliced

1/2 pound string beans -- whole, if small, or cut into 3-inch

pieces

1 large red or green pepper -- in long slices

4 cups sliced mushrooms -- (1 pound)

4 cups zucchini rounds

3/4 cuo fresh or canned pineapple -- in chunks (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch -- dissolved in 1/2 cup cold vegetable stock,

pineapple juice, or water

hot chili oil -- optional

2 scallions -- chopped

 

Stir together the sauce ingredients and set aside, and prepare the tofu and

vegetables before you begin to stir-fry.

 

Heat the oil in a wok or a pot large enough for all the ingredients. Stir-fry

the onions and ginger. When the onions are translucent, add the carrots and

continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes before adding the beans (2 more minutes),

the pepper (2 more minutes), and then the mushrooms and zucchini.

 

Turn down the heat, cover the wok or pot, and cook, stirring once or twice,

until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Stir in the pineapple, tofu,

sauce, and dissolved cornstarch and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring gently,

for 3 or 4 minutes. If a hot and spicy dish is desired, add a few dashes of hot

chili oil.

 

Serve at once over rice or noodles. Top with sliced scallions.
