Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

10 ounces tofu, cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
1 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 carrot, sliced
8 cups fresh spinach
1 onion, diced
½ cucumber, sliced
1 radish, sliced
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided, or to taste
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 pinch ground ginger, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
1 cup water
1 cup couscous
1 tablespoon vegan margarine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon pistachio nuts, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix tofu, 1 tablespoon oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • While tofu is marinating, place broccoli and carrot in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water and 1 pinch salt. Cover and cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat. Saute spinach, onion, cucumber, radish, nutmeg, and 1 pinch salt until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, honey, peanut butter, ginger, and black pepper. Add cooked broccoli and carrot. Reduce heat to low and cover the wok.
  • Place marinated tofu in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture in the wok.
  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous, margarine, and garlic. Mix well, cover the saucepan, and let rest until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve couscous in a bowl topped with tofu mixture and pistachios.

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH TOFU



Stir-Fried Cucumber With Tofu image

This vegan take on the cucumber and pork stir-fry offers the perfect level of acid to balance out the spice. Cooked quickly over high heat, cucumbers become juicy, with a lovely silky texture that is still crisp to the bite. Salting the cucumbers before stir-frying is essential, as it draws out moisture and allows for more of the garlicky umami flavors of the sauce to be soaked up. The tofu delivers heartiness, while the hint of Sichuan chile flakes takes this dish to another level.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large cucumbers (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled in alternating vertical stripes, seeded, then cut on the bias 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, crumbled
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Finely chopped scallions, toasted white sesame seeds and steamed rice, for serving (optional)
Freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan chile flakes

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon salt, and gently massage the pieces. (This helps to release some of the water.) Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until the cucumbers are slightly wet and pliable to the touch.
  • Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water.
  • Prepare the stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over high. When smoking hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the tofu, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tofu is partly golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the wok or skillet clean, and keep off the heat until the cucumbers are ready.
  • Drain the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Heat the wok or skillet back over high heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for just 10 seconds, then toss in the cucumbers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss well.
  • Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cucumbers look glossy. Taste and season well with salt and white pepper. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice, if using.
