Asian Broth With Tofu And Rice Food

CHINESE RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine broth ingredients: Place chicken stock, soy sauce, Chinesse cooking wine, garlic and ginger in a small pot over high heat.
• Simmer to infuse: Place lid on, bring to simmer then reduce to medium and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
• Add rice: Add rice and cook uncovered for 10 minutes - broth surface should be bubbling very gently.
• Add fish & stems: Add fish and stems of choy sum, cook for 2 minutes.
• Pick garlic and ginger out of soup.
• Stir through choy sum leaves (they will wilt almost instantly), sesame oil and pepper. Serve immediately.

CHINESE TAKEOUT-STYLE TOFU AND BROCCOLI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Wrap the tofu in 2 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Put another plate on top of the tofu to weigh it down and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until drained.
• After microwaving, carefully unwrap the tofu and slice into ½-1 inch cubes. Pat each cube dry.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook on all sides until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add broccoli to the hot pan with the vegetable broth. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam for 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Add the garlic, ginger, and remaining ½ teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir until softened.
• Add the soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened to your desired consistency. Add the sesame seeds and stir to incorporate.
• Return the tofu to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
• Serve over white rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!

ASIAN-STYLE GARLIC TOFU

Steps:

• Remove excess moisture from the tofu by gently pressing it between towels. Then cut it into bite-sized cubes. (I cut mine about 3/4-inch.) Set aside.
• Make the sauce: Mince garlic. Then in a shallow pan (I use an 8"x8" glass baking dish) add the three ingredients for the garlic sauce. Stir to combine.
• Add tofu cubes to the sauce and gently toss until thoroughly coated. (*Optional: if you have time, cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or a few hours.)
• When ready, cook the tofu: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
• Once oil is hot, carefully add the marinated tofu (with any remaining sauce). Spread out the cubes in a single layer. Simmer and cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes or until lightly seared on one side. Flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice green onions and add to the pan during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. (Sometimes I add a little more hoisin or tamari if the pan becomes dry. The sauce should almost completely absorb into the tofu however.)
• Great served warm over brown rice (and garnished with sesame seeds or more green onions if desired).

MISO SOUP WITH TOFU RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium soup pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil, and then lower to simmer for 5 minutes.
• While the broth is simmering, combine hot water, one tablespoon at a time, to the miso paste in a small bowl and whisk until smooth until there are no lumps. Set aside.
• Add the green onions and shiitake mushrooms to the broth. Simmer another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Slowly add in the miso paste mixture. Stir well until combined.
• Add in the nori strips and silken tofu cubes. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve while hot.

CHAOZHOU FLAVOR-POTTED TOFU

Steps:

• To make the braising broth, put the vegetable oil, ginger, scallions, garlic, and lemongrass in a stockpot and fry over high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the rest of the braising broth ingredients and bring the liquid to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the braising broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pot, discarding all the aromatics and spices.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until it is just beginning to smoke, about 395ºF. Put the tofu in the oil and deep-fry until a brown skin forms on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the oil and drain it on paper towels.
• Put the braising broth, along with any leftover broth, in a saucepan and add the tofu. Set the heat to low and simmer the tofu, covered, for 30 minutes or until it has absorbed the flavors.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool completely. Take the tofu out of the pot and store it, submerged in the broth, in a covered container in the refrigerator.
• Cut the tofu into ¼-inch-thick slices, pour a little bit of the braising broth over the slices, and serve at room temperature.

CHINESE STYLE BROTH

Steps:

• Trim fat from the chicken and ribs and chop them into large pieces.
• Place them in a large pot with the water. Add the ginger and scallion knots.
• Bring to a boil, and skim off the scum from the top. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for at least 2-3 hours.
• Strain the stock, discarding the chicken, pork, ginger and scallions and return broth to the pot.
• Add the wine and return to a boil, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
