Szechuan Sauteed Tofu And Vegetables

The individual days of creation are denoted by the phrase, “So the evening and the morning were the first day” (Gen. 1:5), “…second day” (Gen. 1:8), “…third day (Gen. 1:13), etc. All of this seems to call to mind a “day” as we know it. And when we study the other uses of the word in the Old Testament, we find that where the word yom is preceded by a numerical adjective (i.e. “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., as in Genesis 1), it always refers to a twenty-four hour day.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl combine green onions, gingerroot, honey, sesame oil,
soy sauce, and dried chile flakes. Slice tofu into 2-inch squares and
add to mixture. Carefully toss to mix thoroughly and set aside to
marinate for 20 minutes. In another large bowl combine cabbage,
mushrooms, and sake. Toss well and set aside to marinate for 15
minutes. In a small bowl mix together arrowroot and 3 tablespoons of
the cold water. Set aside. In a fourth bowl mix together flour, eggs,
and the remaining water. Extract tofu from its marinade and dip  slices
into flour batter. In a flat-bottomed skillet, over  medium-high heat,
heat safflower oil and saute tofu on both sides  until lightly browned.
Remove tofu and set on a platter. In a wok over  medium-high heat,
stir-fry contents of both bowls of marinade for 5  minutes, then add
arrowroot mixture and cook until mixture thickens  (about 2 minutes).
Add tofu, cover, and steam 1 minute. Serve  immediately.  Recipe By
