Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon canola oil

8 ounces extra-firm tofu

12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti

salt

1/4 cup whole fresh cilantro leaves

 

1. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in large pot. Meanwhile, cut block of tofu

crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips, and

blotted dry on paper towels.

 

2. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice in bowl large enough to hold

cooked pasta; set aside.

 

3. Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add tofu and cook over

medium heat until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn tofu and cook until golden

brown on second side, about 5 minutes.

 

4. Meanwhile, add spaghetti and salt to taste to boiling water and cook until al

dente. Reserve 1/4 cup water and drain pasta.

 

5. Add spaghetti to bowl with hoisin mixture and toss to coat, adding reserved

cooking water as necessary to moisten pasta. Transfer spaghetti to individual

bowls. Arrange several pieces of tofu over each bowl, and then garnish with

cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.

NOTES : Whole-wheat spaghetti has a springy texture and a hearty flavor that

works well with a glaze of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cook the

spaghetti and the tofu at the same time—they both take 10 to 12 minutes.
