Tofu and mushroom poke

Servings 2

Ingredients

  • handful arame or other seaweed (about 4g)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 450 g extra firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • salt and black/white pepper
  • 150 g mixed mushrooms such as fresh shiitake trumpet, oyster, beech or cremini/swiss browns, thickly sliced
  • 1 shallot/eschalot, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon shoyu, tamari, or soy sauce
  • 2 scallions, finely sliced

Optional

  • white rice, to serve

Instructions

  • Soak the seaweed in room temperature water for 5 minutes. Drain and then roughly chop.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium high. Drizzle with olive oil and add the tofu cubes, season with salt and pepper and drizzle the tops of the tofu with a bit more oil. Cook the tofu until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes, and then flip and cook the other sides until golden all over. Transfer the tofu to a large bowl.
  • To the same skillet on medium high heat, add another drizzle of oil and then the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing often, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the same bowl as the tofu.
  • To the tofu and mushrooms, add the seaweed, shallot, sesame oil and shoyu, tamari or soy sauce. Toss to combine and them allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  • When ready to eat, top with scallions. This tofu poke can be eaten as is, or served with rice.
