Ingredients

  • 16 ounces extra firm tofu, cut into ½ inch slices
  • 1-2 tsp five spice powder
  • 2-3 tbsp  canola or other vegetable oil (not olive oil)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tbsp agave or honey
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar or sherry
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 small onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 napa or savoy cabbage, cut into thin strips
  • ¼ cup unsalted peanuts
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • If the tofu is wet, pat or press it dry before slicing. Sprinkle the tops of the tofu slices with the five spice powder and set aside
  • Whisk together the soy sauce, water, agave, vinegar (or sherry), sesame oil, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, and corn starch until there are no lumps. Set aside
  • Heat a large skillet or wok, over a medium heat. When it’s heated, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then the tofu to the pan, with the five spice powder facing down. Sprinkle the top with five spice powder
  • When the tofu is a bit golden brown on the bottom, 3-5 minutes, turn it over, and repeat this with the other side. When it’s cooked, remove from the pan and set aside
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, and add the onions and peppers. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until they’ve started to cook through. While this is cooking, cut the tofu into 1-inch strips
  • When the peppers and onion are cooked to your liking, add the ginger and garlic, and sauté until fragrant
  • Add the cabbage and sliced tofu. Whisk the sauce once more, to remove any lumps which may have formed, and add it to the cabbage mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens, and the cabbage cooks a bit. It’ll still be a bit crunchy, but will have softened.

Notes

Serve immediately with rice.
