Tofu With Tomatoes and Coriander

Lynne Cooks's Note:

I've been reading a couple cookbooks by Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid. Their books are great reads and the recipes I've tried are easy and delicious. This recipe is one of my favorites, which is only slightly modified to used dried ingredients (I swapped ground coriander for fresh cilantro since I didn't have the fresh on hand).

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb tomato , seeded & cut into 1-inch squares (2 large or 3 medium)
• 1 lb of fresh tofu , drained & cut into 1-inch squares (extra firm works)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ½ cup chopped scallion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
• black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat pan. Toss in garlic and scallions and stir-fry briefly, until the garlic starts to change color. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry until softened, about 1 minute. Add the tofu, salt, sugar, soy sauce and coriander. Stir to blend, bring to a boil and cook, stirring briefly once, for 30 seconds.
2. Season with pepper or other seasonings to taste and serve hot.

I really enjoyed the flavor of this dish. The only change I made was to use about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil for the oil and a pint of my home canned whole tomatoes. So easy to make and with ingredients I almost always have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing this great dish.
