Ingredients
- 2 serrano chiles
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 3 Tbsp. canola oil
- 6 oz. extra-firm tofu
- 2 heirloom tomatoes
- 2 peaches
- 1 cup arugula or mizuna
- 1/2 cup basil leaves
Directions
- Step 1Put the serranos in a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil with the vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the brine over the serranos and let stand for 15 minutes, until cooled to room temperature.
- Step 2Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, mustard, and 3 tablespoons of the oil.
- Step 3In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until shimmering. Add the tofu and cook over moderate heat, turning, until crisp, 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Season with salt.
