- Cut the tofu into 4 thick slices. Place slices in a pot containing 3 c. cool water and the salt. Soak for 30 min, then slowly bring it almost to a boil, and cook without boiling for 5 min.
- While tofu is heating, prepare the sauce. Heat the canola oil in a skillet and add in the ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add in the cilantro, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook for 1 min over high heat.
- Remove tofu from heat, drain, carefully transfer to a hot serving dish, and spoon sauce over it.
- Can this recipe be saved
- There are several things I'd do.
- First, let's assume this serves 4 (4 ounce tofu per person). Serve the tofu with 1/2 c. cooked rice per person, and the %CFF plummet to only 21% form 55%.
- But the tofu which MC knows is high in fat - 39 grams per lb.. If you use a lower fat tofu, the amount of fat in the recipe can change dramatically. If you use the MC entry of "1% tofu", that is 5 grams fat per lb. of tofu, the amount of fat per serving drops to 5 gms. However, because it is a low-calorie dish (only 85 cal per serving with the lowfat tofu), the %CFF is still high (48%). Which's primarily due to the tbsp of canola oil.
- To reduce it further, use nonfat broth or possibly wine as the base for the sauce, and not the oil. Or possibly use only a portion of the oil and make up the difference with another liquid.
- Personally, I'd probably use 1 tsp oil, lowfat tofu, some nonfat broth or possibly dry sherry, and serve it with rice. This results in a dish with a total of 13%CFF.
- Thanks for the recipe, it looks good! I especially like the idea of slow boiling the tofu.
- NOTES : "Serve this to anyone still unsure about tofu. They'll be pleasantly surprised by this dish, and you will absolutely delight the bean curd fanatics in your life. Enjoy!"
