Tofu Stroganoff On Wild Rice Recipes

TOFU STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Cut tofu block in half crosswise. Cut each piece in thirds horizontally, then cut each stack crosswise again into 6 pieces. (You will have 36 strips, 2 inches by 1/2 inch.) Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and sprinkle on all sides with paprika and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and white pepper.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and keep covered.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu in a single layer, gently stirring every few minutes, until golden brown on all sides, 7 to 9 minutes total. Add 2 tablespoons sherry and cook, stirring, until evaporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the tofu to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add onion, mushrooms, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and white pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in broth and the remaining 3 tablespoons sherry; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir the tofu into the sauce. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Serve the tofu stroganoff over the noodles.

TOFU STROGANOFF ON WILD RICE

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat wild rice and water to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 40 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place 1 package of tofu, the sour cream, tomato paste, garlic, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, the salt and red pepper. Cover; blend on high 1 to 2 minutes, stopping blender frequently to scrape sides, until smooth; set aside.
• Cut remaining package of tofu into 1-inch cubes. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook cubed tofu in oil about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu starts to turn light golden brown; remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add butter to skillet. Cook onions in butter 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the mushrooms. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender.
• Stir tofu cubes and sauce into mushroom mixture. Cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Serve over wild rice. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
