Carrot-Zucchini-Potato Patties Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Ib. firm tofu and drained
- 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced (about 1cup)
- 1/2 cup peas, thawed if frozen
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 3 tablespoons cashews
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or Tamari for GF)
- sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions:
- Press and drain the tofu (either by wrapping the tofu in paper towels and placing it under a heavy object.
- Lightly crumble the tofu in a large bowl and set aside.
- Pulse cauliflower into florets to "rice" it or use frozen cauliflower rice which is so easy!
- Set aside
- In a large wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add the ginger and garlic and lightly stir fry for 30 seconds - 1 minute until just golden brown and fragrant.
- Add in the crumbled tofu and stir-fry for 5 minutes, stirring often, until tofu is golden in color and cooked through.
- Remove tofu from wok and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Add in the carrots and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir the peas, and cauliflower "rice" into the wok, mixing the ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower is tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cooked tofu, green onions, cashews, and soy sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes:
- I typically use no oil but this is too good and uses just a little bit :)
