minutesIngredients
- Stirfry
1 lb extra firm tofu
3 tbsp grapeseed oil
2 eggplants (diced, Japanese)
1 head broccoli (chopped)
8 oz shiitake or oyster mushrooms (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp ginger (minced)
1 can baby corn (rinsed and chopped)
2 stalks green onions (diced)
- Sauce
4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce (2 for tofu and 2 for stirfry)
2 tbsp mirin (regular rice vinegar works)
2 tbsp Chinese black bean sauce
2 tbsp Thai seasoning sauce
4 tbsp miso
2 tbsp Chinese fried chili in oil sauce
chili oil (to taste/garnish)
sesame oil (to taste/garnish)
Directions
- Tofu prep
- Drain tofu in advance for at least 30 minutes. Chop into 1 inch cubes.
- In a medium pan, heat up grapeseed oil, add tofu, sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side and add Tamari/soy sauce to char it. Set aside.
- Stirfry Prep
- Chop your veggies, add 2 tbsp of grapeseed oil to a wok on high heat and when it’s ready, add your eggplant and sauté for 4-5 minutes on each side. You might need to add more oil throughout so the eggplant doesn’t burn. When the eggplant has browned a bit, take it out of the wok while keeping the stove on. Line a plate with a paper towel and put the eggplant on top so it absorbs the oil.
- Using the same wok or pan as you did for the eggplant, add your broccoli and sauté on high for 3-4 minutes on each side, then add your mushrooms/corn and sauté for 2 minutes. You might want to add more oil throughout.
- Now you can add your ginger and garlic for 2 minutes. Add your eggplant, tamari, mirin, vegetable stirfry sauce, Chinese black bean sauce, Thai seasoning sauce, and stir it all together for about 1-2 minutes.
- Lower your heat to the max without completely turning off the stove. Then add your miso in the middle and stir in about 3/4 cup of water to break up the miso. If your sauce gets too thick, add more water or vegetable broth, to thicken, add more miso.
- Turn off your stove, add your tofu. Then add your sesame oil, chili oil and Chinese chili crisp to taste. Your meal is ready!
Notes
- If your sauce is too thick, add veggie broth or water.
- If your sauce is too thin, add a bit more miso and seasoning sauce.
- Tired of tofu? Throw in some pan fried seitan or tempeh instead!
- I love using Phoenix Bean Five Spice Tofu – it’s extra firm and already inherently flavorful!
- Want more spice? Add some mini Thai chili peppers or chili oil!
- Serve with rice, noodles or just have it by itself!
