Ingredients:

• 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 1 cup carrots, julienned or grated

• 200g firm tofu, cubed

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button mushrooms work well)

• 1/4 cup microgreens (such as radish or pea shoots) for garnish

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Tofu:

• Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in a clean kitchen towel, placing it on a plate, and putting a weight on top (like a can). Let it sit for about 15 minutes. After pressing, cut the tofu into cubes.

2. Start the Stir-Fry:

• In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable or coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics:

• Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

4. Tofu Time:

• Add the tofu cubes, ensuring they lie in a single layer in the skillet. Cook without stirring for a few minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown, then stir and continue cooking until all sides are golden.

5. Add Veggies:

• Add the julienned carrots, thinly sliced cabbage, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still have a bit of crunch.

6. Seasoning:

• Drizzle the soy sauce or tamari and sesame oil over the stir-fry. Give everything a good toss to ensure even distribution of flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve:

• Transfer the stir-fry to serving plates. Generously sprinkle microgreens over each serving for a fresh contrast. Optionally, you can also sprinkle some sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

8. Enjoy!

This recipe melds the hearty flavors of cabbage, mushrooms, and tofu with the aromatic presence of onions, garlic, and ginger. The microgreens add a burst of freshness, making it a well-rounded, nutritious meal. The dish is both delightful to the palate and packed with health benefits. Enjoy your meal!
