Braised Tofu



INGREDIENTS:

1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu

cooking spray

3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided

1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained

3 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed

1 1/2 cups snow peas, trimmed

1/2 cup oyster sauce

1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Slice tofu block into 3 long slabs lengthwise. Wrap each
slab in paper towels, and press to squeeze out excess water.

2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, and then add 2
teaspoons sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu slabs
to the skillet. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, or until
delicately browned.

3. Remove tofu from skillet, and slice into cubes. Add the
remaining teaspoon sesame oil to the skillet, and stir fry the
water chestnuts, mushrooms and snow peas. Mix together water
and oyster sauce, and add to the skillet along with the tofu.
Cover, and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.
