Tofu or Tempeh Braised with Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 12 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 6 thin slices gingerroot
- 8 oz (250 g) large cremini or white mushrooms, halved
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) sake or dry white wine, or 2 tbsp/30 mL Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) Chinese rock sugar, or 1 tbsp/15 mL each granulated and brown sugars
- 1 pkg (425 g) firm tofu or frozen tofu or 1 pkg (250 g) tempeh, cut in 1-inch/2.5 cm cubes
- 1 lb (500 g) Yukon gold or white potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
- 6 oz (175 g) king oyster mushrooms, sliced lengthwise, or oyster mushrooms, trimmed
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Preparation
Soak shiitake mushrooms in 2-1/2 cups/625 mL tepid water until soft, 30 to 60 minutes; drain, lightly squeezing out excess moisture into bowl, and remove stalks (save for stockpot). Pour soaking liquid into measuring cup, discarding all sediment; add enough water to make 2-1/2 cups/625 mL. Set aside.
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry shallots, ginger and shiitake caps until shallots are golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cremini mushrooms; sauté until edges are golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in sake, then soy sauce, sugar and reserved soaking liquid; bring to simmer. Add tofu and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add potatoes; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Stir in king oyster mushrooms; simmer until tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. If necessary, increase heat to high and boil until sauce is thick enough to lightly coat ingredients. Plate and sprinkle with onion.
