RICE BOWL WITH CABBAGE AND BAKED TOFU
I cooked up a pot of Thai purple sticky rice that had been lingering in the pantry, and then decided how I would turn it into a meal. It was too sticky to use for stir-fried rice so I made stir-fried vegetables and oven-baked tofu, and served up rice bowls topped with both. I thought it might be an altogether too purple meal, but it was quickly devoured, and we are all the more anti-oxidant rich because of the anthocyanins in the red and purple foods.

Steps:
- Make the baked tofu: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut into dominoes, about 1/3 inch thick. In a large, wide bowl whisk together all of the marinade ingredients for the tofu. Pat each square of tofu with paper towels, then dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the heat and keep warm while you stir-fry the vegetables.
- Make sure your rice is warm before beginning the stir-fry. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the soy sauce, wine vinegar, agave nectar or sugar, water or broth, and cornstarch. Mix together well. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cabbage and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables begin to wilt. Stir the sweet and sour mixture and swirl it into the wok. Stir-fry 15 to 20 seconds, then cover and cook 30 seconds. Uncover and stir-fry 1 minute, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

STIR-FRIED CABBAGE, TOFU AND RED PEPPER
Start cooking the rice or quinoa that you will serve this with, prep your vegetables and make the stir-fry. The prep is the most time-consuming but there aren't too many ingredients. You can be sitting down about 35 minutes after you begin.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu into dominoes and drain between paper towels. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the stock, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, the sugar, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Remove 1 tablespoon to a small bowl and stir in the cornstarch. Stir until it has dissolved. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the tofu and stir-fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or to taste), toss together for a few seconds, and transfer to a plate.
- Swirl in the remaining oil, add the garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until it begins to soften, and add the cabbage and walnuts. Stir-fry for 1 minute, add salt and pepper to taste, and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Return the tofu to the wok, stir in the walnuts and the stock/soy sauce mixture and stir-fry for another minute, until it has just about evaporated. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and stir-fry until the ingredients are lightly glazed. Remove from the heat and serve with quinoa or rice.

FINNISH CABBAGE AND TOFU OVER RICE
This is from "Sundays at Moosewood," with a few minor changes. The recipe as written calls for pressed tofu, but I like to freeze the tofu instead. When it's thawed and the moisture has been squeezed out, the texture changes to chewy and firm, rather than slippery and mushy. I always use the one-pound blocks stored in water, rather than the silken type.

Steps:
- To prepare the tofu:.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Combine the marinade ingredients in a 9-inch baking dish. Cut the tofu into cubes or triangles. Place the tofu in the baking dish with the marinade.
- Bake, turning the tofu two or three times during the baking. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
- To prepare the cabbage:.
- While the tofu is baking, saute the onion in the oil in a large heavy skillet. When the onion is almost translucent, add the cabbage. Stirring occasionally, saute until the cabbage is somewhat reduced, about 5 minutes, but don't let the onion brown.
- Combine the sauce ingredients and pour the over the cabbage, stirring to coat. Remove from the heat. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and bake in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Select the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as Japanese or sushi rice, is the best choice for this recipe. It cooks up tender and sticky, which is perfect for absorbing the flavorful sauce.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove the starch and prevents it from becoming gummy.
- Use a good quality tofu: Extra-firm tofu is the best choice for this recipe. It holds its shape well when baked and absorbs the marinade well.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes: This will help the tofu to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Bake the tofu until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside: This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Make the cabbage slaw while the tofu is baking: This will save you time and ensure that the slaw is fresh and crisp.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy and that complements the flavors of the tofu and cabbage.
Conclusion:
This rice bowl with cabbage and baked tofu is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the cabbage slaw is fresh and crisp, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
