Tofu and Cabbage stir-fry

This is a quick fix and super-cheap vegitarian dish. I served it with a side of sweet-potato mashies for dinner tonight. Goes well with some Brooklyn Winter Ale.

1/2 small head of green cabbage (red is fine too)
1 dish of firm tofu
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp minced ginger
2 tsp sesame oil
sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds

Press the tofu between two plates (put a heavy book on top) while you chop the vegetables. Sip a brew. Drain water after 10 minutes.

Heat 1 tsp oil in a large skillet. Stir up the tofu, cubed 1/2 inch, for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, stir for another minute.

Remove tofu but leave some flavor behind. Add 1 tsp oil and stir in the cabbage. Fry 5 minutes, add tofu and cook another minute. Salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle in sesame seeds (optional) and serve hot.

Makes 3 portions.

Props to Carole Raymond for suggesting the combination.
