Cabbage is a staple in my vegetable drawer. So perfect to add to salads, soups, or stir fry dishes. Looking forward to letting purple cabbage shine in your Cabbage, Apple Tofu Salad Recipe. Eating more tofu was just one of my New Year's resolutions to up my diet explorations. Thank you!

Quick question about the tofu prep... The ingredient list says “extra firm tofu, sliced into 1.25 (1/2-inch) pieces,” but then the recipe directions also say to let the tofu cool, then slice into 1.25 (1/2-inch) pieces. Are we slicing again? If so, I can’t picture what I’m supposed to be doing with the second round of slicing. Would you mind providing a little clarification? Thank you!

Hi Becky, Yes, you have to slice your block of tofu in order to panfry it. THEN, once the slices are cool, you slice them again into thin batons -if you look at the photo, you will see that the tofu looks like at the end. Hope this makes sense.

Unfortunately I don't think the programming in Perth is now as food-centric. But then I think things like MFWF take up the slack on things like that

Yes more literary festivals need to give food writers some respect. I have been to a few here over the past 6 months and there are usually only 2-3 food people invited. And while it is nice to be included, I have yet to experience another festival with such food centric programming. Was so fun.

I couldn’t get any size/slice of cabbage at Woolies (two days in a row!) so I used a bag of coleslaw mix and it was still delish. Great flavours and textures!

I made this cabbage salad tonight as a side (omitting the tofu) and I cannot stop eating it. Definitely going into heavy rotation
