Stir-Fried Tofu with Bok Choy

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 lb                      Firm Tofu, drained

2 tbs                        Sesame Seeds

1 tbs                        Asian Sesame Oil

1 tbs                        Vegetable Oil

1                             Bok Choy Head, leaves and stalks sliced 1 in thick

4 cups                      Bean Sprouts (9 oz)

1 tsp                        Chicken Bouillon Cube, crushed or grated

tt                             Salt and Pepper, freshly ground

INSTRUCTIONS:

Wrap the tofu in paper towels and drain in a strainer set over a bowl for 30 minutes.  In a skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, 1 minute.  Let cool, then grind to a coarse powder.

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil.  Add the drained tofu, breaking it up into chunks with a spoon, and stir-fry over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.  Transfer the tofu to a plate.

In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil.  Add the bok choy and stir-fry over moderately high heat until tender, 5 minutes.  Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until heated through.  Stir in the tofu and season with the bouillon cube, salt and pepper.  Transfer to a bowl and garnish with sesame seeds.
