This was definitely tasty, but it involved quite a bit more ginger flavour than I typically present to my household. \u00a0In fact, given that the recipe was called “Miso Tofu” the fact that the Ginger flavour, if represented in text on the net would have had to have been a neon all caps animated gif with all of the other flavours in dark gray italics over a black background behind it…. \u00a0There are two sets of measurements listed. \u00a0One was what the recipe called for, which I changed a bit making it, the second is what I am planning to use next time I make this. \u00a0 We all ended adding a little bit of tamari to it, which helped to gentle the GINGER, but I would prefer to bring the miso and garlic a bit more to the forefront next time it is cooked.<\/p>\n
However, making this finally taught me how to deal with tofu to end up with a firm fried version… \u00a0and it also taught me that I despise grating ginger by hand.<\/p>\n
1 14 oz package of tofu, drained and pressed<\/p>\n
2 T red miso (3)<\/p>\n
5 tsp grated ginger (3)<\/p>\n
2 T rice vinegar (3)<\/p>\n
4 cloves garlic (6)<\/p>\n
1 T + 1 tsp peanut oil<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp cornstarch<\/p>\n
1 head (2 lbs) bok choy (We only used one)<\/p>\n
1 T black sesame seeds.<\/p>\n
Press tofu. \u00a0(Wrap in several layers of paper towels, place on one cutting board, put another on top, and then something heavy on top of that. \u00a0The recipe suggested a heavy jar, which did not seem to be doing the job, so we used our cast iron griddle. \u00a0Replace paper towels a few times, until it seems to be pressed out.) \u00a0Cut tofu into 1\/2 inch chunks. \u00a0Puree miso, ginger, vinegar, and 1\/2 of the garlic. \u00a0Heat wok until water sizzles and evaporates. \u00a0Add 1 T oil and tofu. \u00a0Fry until golden. \u00a0Sprinkle with cornstarch and fry until darkened. \u00a0Transfer to a plate. \u00a0Add 1 tsp oil and rest of garlic, and fry 30 seconds. \u00a0Add bok choy and fry until tender. \u00a0Return tofu, add half puree (we just put it all in at this point, as half looked far too dry), and cook until heated through. \u00a0Garnish with sesame seeds and rest of miso on the side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
