Method

  3. 3 Add the potatoes and onions and cook for 8 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften.
  4. 4 Add zucchini, mushrooms, and diced tofu, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Add the sliced chili peppers and green onions, bring to a boil for 1 minute, then bring the whole pot to the table.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 32 min

    Replace step 3: toss the potatoes and onions in the loosely covered soy sauce bowl at 800W for 5 minutes; reduce this to about 3 minutes and don't worry about overflowing, the potatoes will soften evenly. The squash, mushrooms, and tofu from step 4 should be tossed for an additional 4 minutes to maintain their shape.
