Ingredients
Tofu (Optional)
- 1 14 ounce package Extra frim tofu dried and cut into cubes
- 1 Tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
Cabbage Stir Fry Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce bag Broccoli Slaw or slaw mix of choice
- 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic paste or 1 cove garlic, minced
- ½ white onion cut into slivers
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced or mushrooms of choice
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 Tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari
- 2 Tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Rice vinegar
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large pan, or preferably a Wok, on medium high heat.
- The pan should be hot before adding the garlic and onion.
- Saute until the onion is translucent; then add the mushrooms and ginger.
- Toss until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Then, add the shredded carrots.
- In the meantime, combine the rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce in a small measuring cup and whisk together; set aside.
- Now add the bagged cabbage salad.
- Again, toss the cabbage mixture until the cabbage darkens in color. This only takes a few minutes.
- Add the green onions and toss one more time.
- The secret to perfect stir fry is adding the sauce LAST!
- Top with tofu if using.
Tofu Optional
- If using extra-firm tofu, it does not need to be pressed. Dry it off, and cut it into identical-sized cubes.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a dish.
- Add the tofu pieces, and place a top on the container.
- Shake the tofu pieces in the marinade, and refrigerate overnight or at least an hour.
- Air Fry at 390 degrees for 12 minutes or bake the tofu at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Notes
- If using tofu, prep it the day before; the longer it marinates, the more flavor it has.
- Choose your favorite cabbage blend or cut your own cabbage if you prefer not to use a prepared bag.
- This recipe has very little sauce, because it doesn't need more. It goes a long way.
- Do not overcook the cabbage. It only takes a few minutes on medium-high. The trick is to allow it to cook, then toss and repeat.
- The color of the cabbage changes to a brighter color, indicating it is done.
- Do a taste test; the cabbage should be warm, crunchy, and delicious.
- The secret to great stir-fry is to add the sauce after the stir-fry is done cooking.
