Description
A delightful amalgamation of tender tofu and vibrant green cabbage, kissed by a savory sauce perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tsp maple syrup or sugar
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp vegetable bouillon paste
- 1–2 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 scallions, sliced (whites and greens separated)
- 1 red chili pepper, sliced (optional)
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed or grated
- 1/2 inch ginger, grated or minced
- 450g super firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine your soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sweetener, sesame oil, and vegetable bouillon. Whisk together until everything is well blended and set aside.
- Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and warm the avocado oil. Add in the white parts of your sliced scallions and the chili pepper if you’re using it. Sauté until the scallions soften, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed garlic and grated ginger, sautéing again until fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
- Crumble the pressed tofu into the pan, allowing it to soak up the flavor of the sauté. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and ground coriander, mixing well. If the pan appears dry, add a splash more oil to help coat the tofu and spices. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the tofu is lightly golden.
- Toss in the shredded cabbage, stir-frying until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Pour the sauce you prepared earlier over the tofu and cabbage mixture. Sauté everything together, allowing the tofu and veggies to absorb the lovely flavors of your sauce.
- Serve warm, over rice or noodles, and garnish with the green parts of the scallions if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently to prolong the texture of the tofu.
