Recipe Makes for 4 Servings:

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1½ tablespoons dark sesame oil

3 scallions, trimmed and chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped

One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, chopped

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1 pound lean steak, preferably sirloin, sliced as thinly as possible across the grain

3 tablespoons corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil

1 pound firm tofu, cut into ½-inch cubes

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the meat, toss well to coat, cover, refrigerate, and marinate for about 1 hour—longer if time allows, shorter if you're in a hurry.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Drain the meat, reserving the marinade, and brown it, turning once or twice. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the tofu and reserved marinade and heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
