Spiced Bok Choy and Tofu
[font=Arial][/font]
This savory stir-fry is a simple 30-minute meal. For an even faster prep, slice the bok choy, mushrooms and green onion ahead of time.
[font=Arial][/font]
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2.1 liters (1 medium bunch) box choy, sliced crosswise, rinsed well and drained
944 ml sliced shiitake mushroom caps
236 ml sliced green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño chile, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon granular sugar substitute
453 grams firm tofu, room temperature, cut into large dice
[font=Arial][/font]
1. Heat peanut or vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add bok choy and mushrooms; stir-fry until tender and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the green onion, garlic, jalapeño and ginger; stir-fry 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix water, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar substitute together in a cup. Stir into bok choy mixture; top with tofu. Cover, and cook until just heated through, 1 minute.

For an extra-spicy entrée, leave the seeds in the chile; remove seeds for a milder version (wear gloves to prevent irritation). Shiitake stems can be saved for flavoring stock but are inedible; discard after using.

Asian Vegetable Bowl

4 tablespoons lite (reduced-sodium) soy sauce
472 ml bok choy, sliced (Chinese cabbage; use half leaves and half stems)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced or grated
1 garlic clove, very thinly sliced
1 Thai or Serrano chili, seeded and minced
236 ml diced tomatoes
3 green onions, sliced (about 118 ml)
177 ml soft or firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded (about 118 ml)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
[font=Arial][/font]
1. In a large saucepan, bring broth and soy sauce to a boil. Reduce heat; add bok choy, mushrooms, ginger, garlic and chili. Simmer for 5 minutes, until bok choy is tender yet still crisp and mushrooms are softened.
2. Add tomatoes, green onions, tofu and carrot. Heat through for 1 minute. Stir in cilantro just before serving.
[font=Arial][/font]
