Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (80 g) finely diced, stemmed shishito peppers (with seeds left in) – see note 1
  • ½ cup (65 g) finely chopped red, or yellow peeled onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 g) diced fresh, or drained canned tomatoes (about 1-inch dice)
  • 1 16-ounce (454 g) block soft silken tofu
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the shishito peppers, onion, salt, chili flakes, oregano and black pepper, and sauté, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 8–10 minutes.
  3. Add the tomatoes, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the tofu and gently break with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook and carefully stir the mixture, until the tofu is heated through, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the cilantro, and add more salt and/or black pepper, to taste.
  5. Serve hot. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Note 1 – If you can’t find shishito peppers, use another type of peppers, such as bell, paprika, or poblano peppers.
