Ingredients

1 cup white or jasmine rice

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Asian chile sauce (such as Sriracha)

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons sesame oil

4 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and chopped

4 ounces snow peas

1 14-ounce package soft tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

  1. Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile, whisk the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, chile sauce, cornstarch and 1 cup water in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, garlic and ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until golden brown and tender, about 3 minutes. Add the snow peas and stir-fry 30 more seconds.
  3. Whisk the reserved soy sauce mixture and add it to the wok. Bring to a simmer, then add the tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallion greens.
  4. Fluff the rice with a fork and divide among bowls. Top with the stir-fry and sauce.

I made this but used 1T of fish sauce in place of the vinegar, then added a few tablespoons of the sauce to the tofu cubes to marinate for a few hours. Then drained them on paper toweling, dusted with cornstarch and fried them in oil in the wok until brown and drained on paper towels. Then added the cornstarch to the sauce and finished the recipe as written adding the tofu back at the very end.
