Ravioli with Stir-Fried Vegetables

Here’s an offbeat way to present a stir-fry. Tofu-filled ravioli are like little dumplings in this dish. Do try to use hoisin sauce to finish the dish. It creates a nice brown glaze and adds just the right flavor kick to the mild ravioli.

Ingredients

4 to 6 servings

Sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh or jarred ginger, to taste
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons natural granulated sugar
One 13-ounce package frozen tofu-filled ravioli
3/4 cup frozen edamame
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 long Japanese eggplant or 2 tiny eggplants
3 cups bite-size broccoli florets
1 cup slender baby carrots
8 to 10 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms or 4 ounces shiitakes, stemmed and sliced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce, or additional soy sauce to taste
  1. Step 1

    In a large measuring cup or small mixing bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little water, then add enough water to make 1 cup. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, stir together, and set aside.

    Step 2

    Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan or small soup pot. Stir in the ravioli and edamame and simmer steadily for 6 to 8 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden.

    Step 4

    In the following order, layer the eggplant, broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms in the pan. Pour in about 1/2 cup water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes, then lift the lid and stir. Continue to cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes longer.

    Step 5

    Gently stir in the ravioli and edamame, followed by the sauce. Cook for a minute or so longer, until the sauce has thickened. Season with hoisin sauce or additional soy sauce and serve at once.
