Ginger & Tamari Tofu with Apple Slaw


2 Serves.

Like most processed foods, some soy products are not accepted in some wellness circles. However, it can be broadly accepted in vegan & vegetarian diets. Moderation is the key to almost everything we eat, and Well for One uses an organic tofu in exactly that way - moderation.

This dish is easy, delicious & meat-free. It's full of fresh ingredients, light on your body but will also fill you up!

TIP: Tempeh instead of tofu will also work with this recipe.

Ingredients

Ingredients

125 grams of firm organic tofu (1/2 regular block)
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 small wombok (Chinese cabbage), finely shredded (approx. 3 cups)
1 medium carrot, grated (approx. 1 cup)
1 small apple, grated (approx. 1/2 cup)
1 long green shallot/scallion, finely sliced
1/4 cup of fresh coriander leaves (optional or swap for another herb)
2 teaspoons of raw or toasted sesame seeds

Marinade:

1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced or grated
1 clove of garlic, minced or grated
1 tablespoon of wheat-free tamari
1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons of pure sesame oil
2 teaspoons of coconut sugar

Slaw Dressing:

2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of raw honey, coconut sugar or maple syrup
1 clove of garlic, minced or grated
Pinch of sea salt

Method

  1. If possible, marinate the tofu for a few hours, otherwise 20-30mins while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the marinade together and mix well.  Slice the tofu into ½ cm thick slices and add to the marinade.  Coat well & put into the fridge until ready to cook.
  3. Make the slaw dressing by combining all of the ingredients into a jar or small bowl.  Shake or whisk well until combined.
  4. Prepare all the slaw ingredients - grating the apple just prior to serving so it doesn't go brown.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan to a medium heat.  Drain off the excess marinade and place the tofu into the pan.  Cook the tofu for approx. 2 minutes each side and remove from the pan. 
  6. Place all the slaw ingredients into a bowl – wombok, carrot, shallot, apple & coriander.  Spoon over the dressing and mix well. 
  7. Place the slaw into a serving bowl, top with the tofu & sprinkle with sesame seeds.
