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 :)
