Ingredients

For the Asian Cabbage Tofu Slaw:

  • 1 pkg firm tofu drained and cut into small bite-sized cubes
  • 4 cups Shredded green or red cabbage
  • 4 scallions thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots thinly sliced into half moons
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced snap peas
  • 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup chopped salted peanuts

For the Oil-Free Ginger Miso Dressing

  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove grated or minced
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

To Roast the Tofu in the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375F. Place the cubed tofu on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast until firm, about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking. Set aside to cool.

To Roast the to Tofu in an Air-Fryer:

  • Preheat your Air-Fryer to 375F. Line the air-fryer basket with a piece of parchment or a liner sheet. Place the tofu in basket. Push the basket in and air-fry the tofu for 5 minutes. Shake, and air-fry another 5 minutes. Repeat 1-2 more times, until tofu is firm to your liking. Set aside to cool.

To make the Asian Cabbage Tofu Slaw:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

To make the Oil-Free Ginger Miso Dressing:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until thoroughly combined. Dressing should be a creamy, yet pourable, consistency. If too thick, add another tablespoon or two of water. If too thin, add another tablespoon of tahini.
  • Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture. Toss well until thoroughly combined.
  • Enjoy immediately or eat within 5 days.

Notes

Make Ahead: This slaw holds up great after a day or two. If making a day ahead for a party, store the slaw and dressing separately. Toss together 1-2 hours before serving.
