Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers

by Moosewood Collective

  SOFT TOFU is sold in cakes like firm tofu. Its texture is between silken and firm, making it ideal for soups, stews, blended sauces, dips, and spreads.

  SILKEN TOFU usually sold in boxes, is higher in fat and protein than firm tofu. Its delicate, silky texture and mild flavor make it perfect for desserts, smoothies, and dressings. “Lite” silken tofu has a reduced-fat content.

  SEASONED TOFU is a ready-to-eat product stocked in the refrigerator case of most natural foods stores and supermarkets. It is tofu that has been baked or simmered with a variety of spices and flavorings. It is quite firm and can be sliced or grated and used in salads and sandwiches.

  TORTILLAS are thin, unleavened flatbreads made from water mixed with wheat flour or corn flour. They commonly range from 4 to 11 inches in diameter. In the United States, packaged corn tortillas are usually on the smaller end of that range and wheat tortillas are on the larger end. Tortillas become pliable when heated and make great wraps for sandwiches, burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas. In most supermarkets, look in the dairy case or frozen food aisle for brands with no added fat or preservatives.

  UDON NOODLES are round, square, or flat Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. Available in natural foods stores, Asian markets, and many supermarkets. Cook udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water until tender, usually 7 to 10 minutes.

  VEGETABLE BROTH is our favorite shortcut product for home cooking. At Moosewood Restaurant, we make fresh vegetable stock every day because it gives our soups depth and complexity. But when you’re pressed for time, homemade stock just isn’t going to happen. So, how can you turn out soups in an instant that still have plenty of flavor like those that simmer half the day? Good news: Quart boxes of organic vegetable, mushroom, and mock chicken broth are on the shelves of most natural foods stores and supermarkets. We like Imagine and Pacific brands.

  These broths taste great, have pure ingredients, and can be used directly from the box for soups, stews, and risottos. Once opened, the broth keeps for a few weeks in the refrigerator. Unopened, they sit in your cupboard until you need them. If we were to poll Moosewood cooks, we think these broths would probably be named “favorite convenience product used at home.”

  ZEST means grated citrus peel, most often lemon, lime, or orange. Zest is made by finely grating the outermost part of the rind. (Don’t go deep enough to get into the bitter white pith.) The best tool for zesting is a microplane grater.
