Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

SAUCE:

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil

1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce

STIR-FRY:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 pound extra-firm tofu -- prepared as directed

6 garlic cloves -- minced

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 red bell pepper -- cut into 3x1/2-inch strips

5 cups roughly chopped broccoli -- see directions

1/2 cup walnut halves

1/3 cup water

 

1. Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Slice tofu,

pat very dry; cut into 2 x 1/2-inch logs. Break a head of broccoli into small

florets, peel stalks and slice (about 5 cups).

 

2. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it is hot but not

smoking. Make sure the tofu is patted very dry to prevent sticking. Add the tofu

and stir-fry until lightly golden all over.Remove to a platter and reduce the

heat to medium-high.

 

3. If there is no oil left in the pan, add a teaspoon or so. Add the garlic and

crushed pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Stir in the red bell pepper, broccoli,

and wanuts and toss to coat with the garlic. Pour in the water, toss, then cover

the pan. Cook 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crunchy.

 

4. Stir in the tofu, then pour on the sauce mixture. Stir-fry 1 minute, or until

the sauce coats everything and is thickened. Serve on rice. Serves 3 to 4.

NOTES : Garlic and hot pepper flakes are a nice foil for the weetness of hoisin.

To organize yourself cook 1 1/2 cups rice before you begin stir-frying and keep

it warm on the back burner; the stir-frying will take only a few minutes.
