Stir Fried Tofu With Cashews Food

CASHEW VEGGIE STIR FRY WITH CHICKEN OR TOFU

Steps:

• Press your tofu. Set a layer of 5-6 paper towels on a plate. Add tofu and top with more paper towels. Place three or four more plates on top and let sit for 20-30 minutes. This will press the excess water out of the tofu. But watch your plates! You don't want them to topple and break (some use books to avoid this but I'm a plate girl myself).
• Cook the rice according to package directions. You'll want to start the rice first because it may take the longest to cook.
• Prep (IMPORTANT!) Cut all of your veggies ahead of time! This is key with stir fries, which cook superfast once you get them going. And it's especially important with this recipe because you'll have two pans going at once.
• Make the sauce. To a small bowl, add the tamari or soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, and ginger. Mix until combined. Set aside.
• Coat the tofu/chicken. Add the tofu to one gallon-size ziplock bag and the chicken to another. Add the 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to each bag. Seal and gently shake each bag to coat all of the pieces of tofu/meat with cornstarch.
• Cook the tofu and chicken. You'll want to start the tofu about 3 minutes before you start the chicken because the tofu takes a bit longer to cook. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally. After 3 minutes, set another large non-stick skillet on another burner over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook both the tofu and chicken, stirring/flipping occasionally, about 4-5 more minutes, until the tofu is browned and the chicken is just about cooked through. (I use a designated spoon for each one so there's no cross-contamination).
• Add the veggies. Divide the the broccoli, bell peppers, edamame, and garlic between the two pans. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are getting tender.
• Add the cashews, sauce, and scallions. Divide the cashews between the pans and cook, stirring occasionally, for another minute. Lower the heat to medium-low and divide the sauce between the two pans. Stir to combine, then let simmer for about 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Stir in the scallions, then remove from heat and ...
• Serve. Scoop rice onto individual plates, scoop stir fry over rice, and eat!
• Leftover instructions: Stir fry keeps for about 3 days. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH CASHEWS

Steps:

• Combine tofu, whiskey, fish sauce, light soy sauce, black soy sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok over medium heat and fry cashews until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cashews to a bowl and pour out oil.
• Add garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in tofu and onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add palm sugar and chile peppers. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Add water and stir until well mixed. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the cashews and green onions on top.

CASHEW TOFU STIR FRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Place cashews on a baking tray and place in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Toss half way, making sure they don't burn. Remove from the oven and set aside. OR toast in a dry pan on medium heat for a few minutes until lightly golden.
• Slice the block of tofu in half and then into six strips. Now you can use your hands to break each strip into about four or five chunks, about 1 inch in size. If you find that too tricky you can score a line with the knife first before breaking up, or just cut into cubes. Breaking the tofu is going to result in a crispier exterior.
• Place the tofu chunks into a bowl with the cornflour and some salt and pepper. Toss well so all the edges of the tofu is fully coated in the flour. If you need to add a little more cornflour then do so.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry for around 6-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. If your pan isn't big enough you can do it in two rounds, careful not to overcrowd the pan. It should be crispy and dry looking on the outside.
• Add a bit more oil to the wok and add minced garlic, thinly sliced spring onion and red pepper. Cut the red pepper into roughly 1 inch pieces. Add the roasted cashews.
• Fry for a couple of minutes and make the sauce. Mix all the ingredients (minus the cornflour and water) in a small bowl.
• Add to the wok and let it sizzle whilst you mix the cornflour and water to make a slurry. Add and stir, cook for about 20-30 seconds and then serve.
• Top with some extra spring onion and sesame seeds and serve with rice or your favourite sides!

SIMPLE VEGGIE & TOFU STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Place a frying pan or wok over a high heat. Add the cashew nuts, then 30 seconds later add the sesame seeds. Toss for a further 30 seconds until golden, then tip into a bowl.
• Cut the tofu into cubes, then place in a bowl and dust with the cornflour and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
• Add a good lug of oil to the pan or wok and place back over a medium-high heat.
• Fry the tofu until golden and crisp, then scoop it out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper. While it's still warm, drizzle with honey and scatter over the nuts and seeds.
• Peel and slice the garlic and ginger, then trim and slice the spring onions on an angle. Slice the chillies (if using), cut the broccoli into florets, then slice the pepper. Halve the sweetcorn lengthways.
• Return the pan to a medium heat and add the garlic, ginger, spring onions and chillies (if using). Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until the garlic turns golden.
• Add your vegetables and stir-fry for a further 4 minutes. Squeeze in the juice from half the lime and add a splash of soy sauce.
• Tip the vegetables into bowls, top with the crispy tofu and serve with the remaining lime wedges and some chilli sauce, if you like extra heat.
