Cabbage and Tofu Garlic Miso Stir-fry

Ingredients (serves 4)

☆ 1/2 head of cabbage
☆ 2 blocks of thick fried tofu (厚揚げ、atsuage)
☆ 1/2 medium carrot
☆ 1 long onion
☆ 1 clove garlic
☆ 4 tbsp miso
☆ 2 tsp each sugar, sake, dashi stock
☆ Vegetable oil
☆ Sesame oil (optional)

Preparation

1. Cut the cabbage into large bite-sized pieces. Cut the carrot in half and slice length-wise. Cut the onion into diagonal slices and mince the garlic.


2. Put the tofu in a bowl and pour hot water over to remove some of the excess oil. Remove and pat dry with paper towel. Cut into 4-5mm slices.


3. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry both sides of the tofu. Remove and set aside.


4. While the tofu is frying, mix the miso, sugar, sake and dashi stock in a bowl.


5. Heat more oil in the frying pan and fry the garlic until fragrant. Add the onion and fry. Then add the carrot and cabbage. When the cabbage is slightly wilted, add the miso sauce and toss well until heated through.


6. Serve on a plate and drizzle sesame oil on top if you like.

Cooking point

☆ I used white miso in this recipe and found it almost too salty. If you are using a darker miso, you may need to adjust for the saltiness of it.

I approve of your using the "manorexic Sho gets force fed by sunburned Ohno" icon for these posts.

Also I now want to find a Japanese food store here. And look up all the names for Japanese foods in Chinese.

I thought it was greatly appropriate. :D I was wondering where you went to. Look at me! Productive! You should be able to find all these things in China. Mmm maybe miso might be tough to find but the rest should be okay.

Look! (http://www.allbusiness.com/retail/retailers-food-beverage-stores-grocery-supermarkets/10288053-1.html) Don't know where it is, but it's there.

I may or may not have watched two episodes of AnS and an episode of MMA so that I finally went to sleep at 5. I wasn't sleepy though! :/ I am going to have a shower and start writing though. Must be productive today.....

Dude, the sun was rising when I went to sleep. -_______- And then my body decided 930 would be a good time to wake up.

I think my body may have been a little tired. ;) But yes the sun was rising when I went to sleep too. I'm glad I was lying down watching tv or else I would have stayed up all night. Usually I wake up at 10, though, not noon! Okay seriously shower time, my dad just distracted me with an awesome first-pass at my gig guide :O!

Looks delicious! Still iffy on the tofu, but with all that flavor maybe it will taste better than last time I tried it.
