2 unit
sweet potato
1 block
Malaysian Tofu
1 bunch
Asian Greens
1 clove
garlic
1 bunch
coriander
1 unit
fresh chilli
1 bag
shredded red cabbage
1 unit
lime
1 tub
peanut butter
olive oil
2 tsp
rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1.5 tsp
brown sugar
3 tsp
soy sauce (or gluten free tamari soy sauce)
2 tbs
hot water
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Place the sweet potato, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Toss to coat, spread out in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
While the sweet potato is roasting, slice the Malaysian tofu into 2cm cubes. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). In a medium bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the shredded red cabbage and toss to coat. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, add the peanut butter, brown sugar, hot water, a good squeeze of lime juice and 1/2 the soy sauce. Combine well using a whisk or fork. Set aside. TIP: Using hot water and a whisk will make the dressing easier to mix. Add a dash more water if you prefer a runnier consistency.
When the sweet potato has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned and warmed through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle more olive oil. Add the Asian greens and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly wilted and fragrant. Add the remaining soy sauce and stir to combine.
Divide the roasted sweet potato, red cabbage, Asian greens and Malaysian tofu between bowls. Drizzle with the peanut dressing and top with the coriander and long red chilli (if using).
