In this recipe we’ve blended tofu and pork together—not only is the result delicious, it’s the perfect way to ease into adding plant-based proteins to the menu.
Ingredients
1 454-g pkg medium tofu, cut into large cubes and drained on paper towels
250 g lean ground pork
1 egg
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped dill
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
MASH tofu in a medium bowl. Stir in pork, egg, green onions, pepper, dill, flour, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder and salt. Divide into 12 portions (about 1/3 cup each). Form each into a ball and flatten into a 2-in. disc.
HEAT canola oil in a large frying pan over medium. Cook tofu cakes in 2 batches until golden, about 3 min per side. Remove to a large platter lined with paper towels.
SERVE with a salad and Thai chili sauce for dipping.
