Japanese Tofu Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
  • 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/2 cup miso paste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 head cabbage, cored and chopped
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 8 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by wrapping the tofu in a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Next, cook it in the microwave for 1 minute. Remove the tofu from the microwave and squeeze out any remaining water using a dry paper towel. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the excess liquid to drain off. Finally, remove the paper towel and cut the tofu into small cubes.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the luncheon meat, minced garlic, and grated ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the sake, miso paste, soy sauce, and sugar until well combined.
3
Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the eggs until they are scrambled and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a plate. In the same skillet, cook and stir the tofu until it is browned on all sides, taking about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the tofu to a plate with the eggs. In the same skillet, cook and stir the luncheon meat mixture until it is cooked through and the garlic is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
4
Heat another 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion, cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and the cabbage is softened, taking about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the eggs, tofu, luncheon meat, and sake mixture to the vegetable mixture; stir to coat. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Garnish with green onion.
