Napa cabbage has a nice crunch when it is not overcooked. In this recipe, it is served in a light Chinese sauce and paired with high protein tofu.
Serves 3-4.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz firm or extra firm tofu
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp gluten flour
- 1/4 c green onion, minced
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp white miso
- 1/2 medium Napa cabbage, cut in 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp water
Directions:
For the Tofu:
- Mash the tofu in a medium bowl. Beat in the egg with a fork. Add the gluten flour, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and soy sauce; mix well.
- Coat the bottom of a large skillet with the oil. Place over medium low heat until the oil is hot. Drop the tofu mixture by rounded tablespoons and brown. Turn and brown the other sides.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Napa Cabbage:
- In a small bowl, blend the soy sauce, honey, water, sesame oil, and miso.
- Place the napa in a large pot and stir in the sauce mixture. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring several times.
- Add the corn starch slurry and stir constantly until thickened, about 30 seconds. Gently fold in the tofu and blend.
- Serve over rice and garnish with sliced green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
