stir-fried tofu with crisp greens and mushrooms
Serves 4
This stir-fry is very fresh and typically Thai in its simplicity. Although soft tofu runs the risk of breaking up, it’s prefer- able to the firm variety as its creamier, more silky texture goes well here with crispy spring vegetables. Put the tofu cubes on a plate lined with several layers of paper towels and leave for 20–30 minutes, to allow the towels to absorb excess moisture.
10½ oz. soft tofu, cubed 8 dried Chinese mushrooms 2 garlic cloves 2 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed 2 oz. snowpeas/ mangetout, trimmed
2 bunches of fine asparagus, cut into short lengths
¼ cup vegetable oil or peanut oil 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
a pinch of sugar a pinch of ground white pepper sea salt
steamed jasmine rice, to serve (optional)
Put the mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, remove the stems and halve any larger ones.
Put the garlic in a mortar with a good pinch of sea salt and pound to a paste with a pestle.
Blanch the vegetables in boiling water for 30 seconds, until bright emerald green and softened. Rinse well under cold water until completely cold.
Heat a wok over high heat, then add the oil. Cook the tofu cubes in the hot oil for 5 minutes, turning often, until light golden and puffed. Transfer the tofu to a plate lined with fresh paper towels and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the wok. Add the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and gently stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic paste and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce, pepper, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to the wok. Return the tofu to the wok and stir-fry gently for 1 minute to coat all the ingredients in the sauce, being careful not to break up the tofu. Remove the wok from the heat and serve the stir-fried tofu with steamed jasmine rice, if liked.
