CRISPY TOFU AND CABBAGE STIR-FRY



Crispy Tofu and Cabbage Stir-Fry image

This tumble of crisp tofu, charred cabbage and citrusy coriander includes a couple tricks you'll want to employ in other dishes. The flavor of the stir-fry is propelled by using the coriander plant multiple ways: Combining coriander seeds with fresh stems and leaves - also known as cilantro - creates a range of complex but related flavors. Then there's what might be the quickest - and your new favorite - way to cook cabbage: When large pieces of cabbage are cooked undisturbed in a hot pan, they don't have a chance to turn to mush. Instead, the cabbage becomes sweet and crisp-tender, with a smoky edge. Eat the stir-fry with grains or noodles, like rice noodles or soba.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, patted dry and torn into 1-inch pieces (see Tip)
1/4 cup neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed), plus more as needed
About 1 1/2 pounds green or red cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces, leaves separated
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 large lime)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sprinkle the red onion with salt and stir to combine. In a medium bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the tofu and toss to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add the cabbage and cook, undisturbed, until charred underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir, spread into an even layer, and cook, undisturbed, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, and season with salt. Transfer to the bowl of red onions.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Add the tofu and cook until golden on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more oil and scraping the bottom of the pan as necessary. Remove from heat, add the coriander seeds and stir gently until fragrant and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cabbage-onion mixture and stir to combine, then stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Season to taste with soy sauce.

SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE WITH TOFU AND GRAINS



Sweet and Sour Cabbage with Tofu and Grains image

You can use regular green cabbage for this slightly spicy, sweet and sour stir-fry, or you can use Napa Cabbage. I like to serve the dish with bulgur, but you could also serve it with rice, noodles, or any other grain.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 generously

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound firm tofu, cut in 1/4- x 1/2 - x 1 1/2 inch slabs
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more to taste)
1 small onion, sliced
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and dark green parts separated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
Pinch of cayenne
1 medium cabbage, quartered, cored, and sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar (or 1 tablespoon if the vinegar is already seasoned)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Cooked bulgur, rice, noodles, or other grains for serving

Steps:

  • Blot the tofu dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or a wok over medium-high heat and when it is rippling, add the tofu. Cook, tossing in the pan or turning over with tongs, for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly colored. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, toss together for about 30 seconds, and remove from the heat. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium-high heat and add the onion. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until crisp-tender, and add the white part of the scallions, the garlic, and ginger. Stir together for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not colored. Add the cayenne, stir in the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, and sugar and continue to cook, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Return the tofu to the pan and stir together. Add more soy sauce to taste and stir together. Sprinkle on the scallion greens and sesame seeds and remove from the heat. Serve over grains or noodles.
