Directions
This is from _Vegetarian Express_ (by Nava Atlas and Lillian Kayte), and is designed to be a very fast and easy recipe.
1. Cut the tofu into ½-inch-thick slices and blot between paper towels or a clean tea towel, then cut into ½-inch dice. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet and saute the tofu over med-high heat until golden on all sides, 4-5 minutes. [I've used a light coating of veg. oil spray successfully.] 2. Bring the veg. broth to a simmer in a large soup pot. Add the ginger and garlic, and simmer for 2 minutes. STir in the stir-fry sauce or teriyaki sauce and vegetables, bring to a boil and cook 1 minute.
3. Stir in the fettucine anc cook 4 minutes or according to pkg.
directions, until al dente.
4. Gently stir the tofu into the mixture in the soup pot. Serve immediately in deep bowls, topping ea. serving with a scattering of scallions.
(I usually use udon or soba instead of processed wheat pasta.) Posted to fatfree digest V96 #279 From: dnation@... (Deborah B Nation) Date: Wed, 09 Oct 1996 15:44:16 EDT
