ingredients

1 lb firm tofu or 1 lb extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
¹⁄₄ cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cornstarch
2 cups snow peas
2 whole green onions, minced
¹⁄₂ cup sliced water chestnuts
1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic
¹⁄₂ cup roasted cashews
3 tablespoons lemon juice

directions

Fry the tofu, covered, in 1 tablespoon of the oil until the tofu is nicely browned; remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, and cornstarch; pour over the tofu, stir well, and set aside to marinate.
Remove the ends and strings from snow peas and cut each one into 2 to 3 pieces.
Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, then plunge them into very cold water to halt further cooking.
In a skillet or wok heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and saute the green onions, minced yellow onion, water chestnuts, and garlic for 4 minutes; add the snow peas and cashews and stir well.
Add the tofu together with the marinade, lemon juice, and pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the snow peas and sauce reach desired texture.
Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
