Add Step-by-Step Photos	Julesong / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago My vegetarian friend Matthew and I get together to cook now and then (he being a newbie chef), and this was the first dish we made as his introduction to veggie cooking. Very tasty! Based on a recipe from Curtis Aikens. Prep:10m Cook:10m Servings:4	Julesong

Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu or extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

3 tablespoons vegetable oil or corn oil or soy oil, divided

1/4 cup dry sherry

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 cups snow peas

2 whole green onions, minced

2 tablespoons minced fresh yellow onions

1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts or quartered water chestnuts

1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic

1/2 cup roasted cashews

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Fry the tofu, covered, in 1 tablespoon of the oil until the tofu is nicely browned; remove from heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, and cornstarch; pour over the tofu, stir well, and set aside to marinate.

Remove the ends and strings from snow peas and cut each one into 2 to 3 pieces.

Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, then plunge them into very cold water to halt further cooking.

In a skillet or wok heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and saute the green onions, minced yellow onion, water chestnuts, and garlic for 4 minutes; add the snow peas and cashews and stir well.

Add the tofu together with the marinade, lemon juice, and pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the snow peas and sauce reach desired texture.

Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
