AN EASY TOFU AND CABBAGE STIR FRY RECIPE

Food cravings can hit without notice. And sometimes the only thing that will scratch that particular itch is indulging with abandon. 

Well, in the case of this cabbage and tofu recipe, it can be a guilt-free way to give into your hankering for Asian flavors without ordering takeout.

Tofu, napa cabbage, carrots and shiitake mushrooms are cooked in a savory and sweet sauce. Soy sauce and chicken stock bring the umami – and are contrasted by the dry sweetness of sake and sugar.

Now, calling this cabbage and tofu recipe a stir fry is a bit of a misnomer. Stir frying is actually cooking something in a pan or wok with a little oil for a short time at super high heat. However, we’d argue that the outcome – from a taste perspective – is pretty on-point with what you’d expect from an Asian stir fry. So we’re sticking with the name!

But whatever you decide to call this easy vegetable recipe with bean curd, it’s a breeze to whip up in your rice cooker!

HOW TO MAKE TOFU STIR FRY IN A RICE COOKER

Simply add your cubed tofu and veggies into the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker. Then pour your mixed sauce over the top.

Close it up and select the Quick cooking preset. And that’s it! Your rice cooker will take it from there.

The vegetables and tofu will be perfectly cooked – and infused with the savory flavors of the sauce. Dinner is going to be delicious!
