Cabbage Pad Thai With Baked Tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil, divided
- 1 14-oz block extra-firm tofu, patted dry, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion (1 small onion)
- 7 to 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt
- 5 cups thinly sliced cabbage (about half a small head)
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped peanuts
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Add tofu cubes and gently toss to coat. Let cubes marinate while oven preheats-at least 5 minutes. Lightly rub a rimmed sheetpan with neutral oil. Place tofu cubes on pan, discarding the remaining marinade. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce with the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water. Stir together and set aside.
- In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the onions, mushrooms and jalapeno. Turn heat down to medium. Let cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir every so often until onions and mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer vegetables to a plate. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add cabbage and let cook undisturbed for 1 minutes, then stir every so often until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Turn the heat to high, add the soy sauce mixture, stir to combine, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until the cabbage is coated in a thick, glossy sauce. Stir in the onions and mushrooms. Remove pan from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and baked tofu. Sprinkle the peanuts over top and serve.
