Directions
Ma Po Tofu From Cooking Light, Tried this the other day and loved it! If you use a couple of 8 oz. packages of diced tofu, found in the produce section of your grocery store, and bottled minced ginger, this goes together in no time. A rice cooker does a great job with brown rice, too, and will keep the rice warm until serving. A quick, healthy dish from Cooking Light., It turned out decently, but next time I will try a different recipe to compare. The flavor wasn’t as pronounced as I was expecting. used lean ground turkey instead of pork as I’m on weight watchers and that made it 0 pts. But I had to add extra oyster and soy sauce while it simmered, because when I tasted the dish I wasn’t getting enough flavor. Maybe because the turkey broth used my husband is allergic to chicken was too intensely flavored and overpowering. I also used half a white onion that I sauteed early on, and only a sprinkle of dried scallions. I would continue to use onion or shallot, I find every recipe is better with some onion in there. I also added frozen peas which gave it a little something extra for zero points. Yay ww freestyle!, I made this recipe on a hot Sunday afternoon, and it was fantastic with a glass of crisp white wine. Due to a limited cupboard, and an overwhelming desire NOT to run to the grocery store, I left out the oyster sauce, and substituted lean ground turkey for the pork. I also used a bit of flour instead of cornstarch as a thickener. For some additional crunch, I chopped up 3 sticks of celery and added it with about 2 minutes left to cook. I’ll definitely cook this again, and would serve it to friends for a casual dinner. With wine.
