SICHUAN CELERY AND TOFU SALAD
This otherwise simple salad, adapted from a dish at Szechuan Gourmet in Manhattan, may require a trip to a Chinese market for Szechuan peppercorns and pressed tofu. And you'll need to make your own chili oil! But here's the thing. The effort, which really isn't much more than difficult shopping, produces an elegant dish that is worth whatever shoe leather or mileage you'll expend getting the ingredients together. It is astonishingly good. And we'll even allow one substitution. You can use regular celery instead of the Chinese version!

Steps:
- Add the tofu and celery to a big bowl. Add the light soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, and sugar.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic, ginger and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Stir a few times to release the fragrance. Immediately pour everything over the tofu and celery. Stir to mix well. Pour in the chili oil (or sesame oil) and mix again. You can either store the salad in the fridge for up to a day or serve immediately as an appetizer. The salad will taste better if you let the tofu marinate in the dressing for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the dressing: Put the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and 2/3 cup of the olive oil into a blender. Blend until completely emulsified. Taste the dressing and adjust to your taste, adding more vinegar or sugar as needed. Pour half of the dressing into a jar and refrigerate for the salad.
- Put the tofu cubes into a bowl and pour over the remaining dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Remove the tofu from the dressing and pat dry. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu on all sides until nicely browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Toss in the sesame seeds and cook for another minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- To assemble the salad, put the mixed greens, halved tomatoes and sliced onion in a large bowl. Pour on half the remaining dressing, reserving the rest for later use. Toss to coat. Arrange the tofu and mandarin oranges all over the greens. Serve immediately.

TOFU-CELERY STIR-FRY
It's too often relegated to the crudité platter, let celery shine as the star vegetable in this easy plant-based stir-fry. Tofu provides the protein, while ginger, scallions, chili-garlic sauce, and cilantro kick up the flavor.
