 Tofu with Mushrooms and Snow Peas
 (adapted from Gourmet)
 
 1 large onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
 3 cloves of garlic, minced
 4 tsp ginger, minced
 3/4 lb mushrooms, sliced
 3/4 lb firm tofu, wrapped in paper towel for 15 minutes, sliced in 1/4" slices
 5 tbl soy sauce (mushroom is best, reduced sodium if you worry about that)
 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 4 tbl cold water
 1 cup water
 3/4 lb snow pea pods, strings removed
 rice
 
 Cook onions in nonstick skillet with a little water until golden brown.
 
 Add mushrooms and cook until they have released moisture and it has
 almost all evaporated.
 
 Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
 
 Add tofu, soy sauce, cornstarch mixture and water. Bring book to a boil.
 Lower to a simmer for 5 minutes, turning tofu so that it cooks in sauce on all
 sides.
 
 Add snow peas and cook until crisp tender.
 
 The sauce is not thick. If you want a thicker sauce, use more cornstarch.
 
 Serve over rice. With sufficient rice this should feed 4 easily.
