Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 block firm tofu, sliced
- 4 cups white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1/2 – 1 cup water
- 6 cups kale, chopped
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 4 cups mung bean sprouts
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
Instructions:
-
Prepare Tofu: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu slices on both sides until well browned, stirring occasionally, about 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Cook Mushrooms: Slide the tofu to one side of the pan and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until browned, then push them to the side as well.
-
Add Squash and Zucchini: Into the pan, add the sliced squash and zucchini.
-
Prepare Sauce: Combine soy sauce with honey, mirin or sherry, and 1/2 cup of water. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the pan and bring it to a boil.
-
Simmer: Lower the heat and simmer until the squash is tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Greens: In separate piles, add as many of the chopped greens, scallions, and bean sprouts as will fit into the pan. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes more.
-
Incorporate Ginger: Stir in the grated ginger and cook for another minute, adding more water (up to the remaining 1/2 cup) as necessary to maintain desired consistency.
-
Serve: To serve, let each diner use chopsticks to remove the tofu and vegetables from the skillet. Add more vegetables as the skillet empties.
