Description
If you’re got your hands on a smoker, I encourage you to try making your own smoked tofu. Of course, the store-bought stuff is a fine enough substitute – I understand not everyone has access to this artisanal treasure that I’ve found!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium leek, greens and whites, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cube smoked tofu, approx 8 oz., thinly sliced
- 4 oz. mushrooms, any variety (cremini & hen-of-the-woods used here), chopped/sliced into small pieces
- 2 Tbsp. mirin
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 1 small nub ginger, finely minced (approx 1/2 tsp)
- 6 oz. ground turkey
Instructions
- Heat a bit of vegetable oil over high heat on a large skillet or wok. When oil is hot, add garlic and leeks. Saute for 3-5 minutes, or until leeks are soft.
- Lower heat slightly to medium high. Add tofu and mushrooms. Let cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally to saute. Don’t stir too vigorously, or the tofu will break up. You want the tofu to brown on the sides and the mushrooms to become soft.
- Mix the mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger in a small bowl. Add to the stir fry, and sautee. Add the ground turkey, and cook until turkey is well done, approx 5 more minutes.
- Serve, hot, accompanied by rice.
Notes
If you love spicy fare, this dish would do well with the addition of a couple of chili peppers or a teaspoon of hot sauce.
