Kitchen Sink Asian Stir-fry

I found a recipe for the Bok Choy we received in our CSA shipment. The vegetarian recipe "Tofu and Bok Chow Stir-Fry" on Epicurious, but changed it to include some left over broccoli we had, and changed some of the ingredient numbers around.



Our Ingredients:


3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon dry Sherry
2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1.5 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 1/2 cups thinly sliced trimmed bok choy
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 5-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 1/2 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Cooking directions:

1. Combine first 4 ingredients in tupperware container or pan; mix well. Add tofu pieces to mixture and marinade for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil until very hot in heavy large wok or skillet over high heat.
3. Add garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper. Stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
4. Mix in water chestnuts, broccoli, and green onions and stir-fry until onions are tender, about 1 minute.
5. Add tofu and lightly stir-fry until tofu is just heated through, about 2 minutes.
6. Add bok choy and stir-fry until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
7. Pour the remainder of the mixture into the wok or skilliet. Stir-fry until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.

This is actually higher calorie and higher sodium than we normally try and eat and I think next time we will use less oil and make sure we use the low-sodium soy sauce.

Taste and Our Opinion

We really liked the flavor of this, but since we used a different brand of soy sauce than normal that was a lot higher in sodium content. Next time we make it we will use our old brand of low-sodium soy sauce and maybe add more Sherry or possibly a splash of pineapple juice to make it a little sweeter.
