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

TOFU MARINADE:*

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup dry sherry

1/4 cup rice vinegar

3 tablespoons brown sugar

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

2 cakes tofu -- (about 1 1/2 pounds)

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

1/4 cup peanut oil or vegetable oil

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root

6 cups coarsely shredded bok choy, kale, Chinese

cabbage, or Swiss chard, packed

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

pinch cayenne or splash of chili oil

toasted cashews or peanuts -- optional

 

A classic stir-fry with the fresh, clean nip of ginger and cilantro and highly

nutritious greens.

 

*If you have Asian Marinade (see page 108) on hand, use 1 cup of it as the

marinade here.

 

In a small saucepan, bring the marinade ingredients to a boil. Simmer for 1

minute and remove from the heat. Cut the blocks of tofu into 1/2-inch slices,

then cut the slices into 1-inch squares. Place the squares in a single layer in

a nonreactive heatproof pan. Pour the marinade over the tofu squares, sprinkle

on 2 tablespoons of the oil, and set aside for about 5 minutes.

 

Preheat the broiler. Prepare the remaining ingredients and have them at hand

before beginning to stir-fry.

 

Broil the tofu for 7 to 8 minutes, until lightly browned; then turn it over with

a spatula and brown the other side.

 

While the tofu broils, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large

skillet. Stir in the ginger, add the greens, and stir constantly on high heat

until the greens wilt. When the greens are just render, add the lime juice,

cilantro, and cayenne or chill oil, and remove from the heat. When the tofu is

browned, gently toss it with the marinade and the cooked greens, and reheat if

necessary. Top with toasted nuts if you like, and serve immediately.
