Braised Doubanjiang Tofu with Bok Choy
Pan-seared protein tofu and caramelized shallots simmered in a spicy, umami-rich doubanjiang sauce with crisp bok choy and fiber-dense edamame.
INGREDIENTS
10 oz Firm protein tofu
0.25 cup Shelled edamame
4 medium Shallots
1.5 tbsp Gluten-free doubanjiang
1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
1.5 cup Baby bok choy
0.5 tsp Avocado oil
0.5 tsp Toasted sesame oil
1 tsp Fresh ginger
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 cup Vegetable broth
1 tsp Tamari
PREPARATION
Press the firm protein tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots and shiitake mushrooms while the tofu is pressing.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the shallots and mushrooms until they are golden and fragrant.
Stir in the minced ginger, garlic, and gluten-free doubanjiang, cooking for 1 minute until the mixture is aromatic and the oil turns a bright red hue.
Add the tofu cubes and shelled edamame to the skillet, tossing gently to coat every piece in the spicy bean paste.
Pour in the vegetable broth and tamari, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the tofu absorbs the flavors.
Fold in the chopped baby bok choy and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the leaves are wilted but the stems remain crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil before serving immediately in shallow bowls.
