Cashew Tofu (or Chicken)

My first cookbook was Favorite Recipes, published by Sunset’s magazine, where I found this recipe. Originally it was with chicken, but it works with tofu too.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 people

Cooking time :

1 hour

1 tablespoon

firm tofu or 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast

2 tablespoon

large carrot, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces

small onion, halved and cut into 1/4 inch slices

1/4 pound

green beans (approx. 20 units), sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces

1 clove

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the 1 teaspoon cornstarch with broth; set aside.

* Step 2

Cut tofu/chicken into edible pieces and place in another small bowl. Add the 1 tablespoon cornstarch and soy; mix well and set aside.

* Step 3

Heat a wide frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When oil is hot, add chicken/tofu and stir-fry until chicken/tofu is opaque (about 3 min-utes); remove from pan and set aside.

* Step 4

Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan. When oil is hot, add celery, beans, carrot, and onion; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add garlic and stir-fry for another minute. Add water; cover and cook until vegetables are just tender-crisp (about 3 minutes).

* Step 5

Return tofu/chicken to pan. Stir through chicken broth mixture once; add to pan and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens. Stir in most of the cashews, reserving some for garnish.
