Tofu & Red Rice Stir-Fry
with Kale & Shiitake Mushrooms
30 MIN
2 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
This modern stir-fry comes with a real treat: fresh shiitake mushrooms. Like other varieties of wild mushrooms, these have been around since prehistoric times—and they’re a culinary treasure today. Though they’re delicious when dried, shiitakes are truly extraordinary when fresh, with robust texture as well as flavor. We’re cooking them here with vegetables, red rice, browned tofu and a complex hoisin-soy sauce.

instructions
1
Cook the rice:
Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the rice. Cook 24 to 26 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly.
2
Prepare the ingredients:
While the rice cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Crack the eggs into a bowl; beat until smooth. Drain the tofu and thoroughly dry with paper towels. Cut the tofu into pieces, each about 1 inch wide by 2 inches long. Cut off and discard the mushroom stems; thinly slice the caps. Peel and mince the garlic. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice on an angle, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Separate the kale stems and leaves; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Peel and cut the carrot into matchsticks.
3
Brown the tofu:
While the rice continues to cook, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of oil on medium-high until hot. Add the tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside in a warm place. Wipe out the pan.
4
Start the stir-fry:
While the rice continues to cook, in the same pan used to brown the tofu, heat 2 teaspoons of oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the kale, carrot, browned tofu and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kale has wilted.
5
Add the aromatics & eggs:
Add the garlic, white bottoms of the scallions and eggs to the pan of tofu and vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the aromatics are softened and fragrant and the eggs are cooked through.
6
Finish & plate your dish:
To the pan of vegetables and tofu, add the cooked rice, sesame oil, hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined; season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Divide the finished stir-fry between 2 dishes. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
