Mustard Greens

Garnish

Method

Tofu Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick slices. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Marinate the tofu in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Tofu

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the marinated tofu on the smoker rack and smoke for about 1 hour, or until it has absorbed a smoky flavor.

Fried Wild Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Wild Rice

    In a pot, combine wild rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 4

    Fry the Rice

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped green onions and diced carrots, sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add cooked wild rice and soy sauce, stir-fry for another 5 minutes.

Mustard Greens

  1. 5

    Sauté Mustard Greens

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add mustard greens and salt, cooking until wilted, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, layer the fried wild rice, top with the smoked tofu, sautéed mustard greens, and shiitake mushrooms. Drizzle with xo sauce and sprinkle togarashi seasoning on top.
