Make Peanut-Lime Tofu Cabbage Cups

Peanut-lime tofu cabbage cups combine a warm savory filling with crisp leaves and fresh herbs. The recipe makes roughly four servings, depending on the size of the cabbage leaves and side dishes. Gather one 14-ounce block of firm tofu, eight large cabbage leaves, one cup shredded carrots, two sliced scallions, and a handful of cilantro or mint. For the sauce, use three tablespoons peanut butter, two tablespoons lime juice, one tablespoon soy sauce, one teaspoon grated ginger, and enough warm water to loosen it. Peanuts and soy are common allergens. Use a safe seed butter and suitable seasoning alternative when necessary, and check every packaged ingredient for cross-contact information. Wash the cabbage and herbs under running water, then dry them. Choose intact outer leaves or smaller inner leaves that can hold the filling. If raw cabbage is difficult to chew, blanch the leaves briefly and cool them before filling. Drain the tofu and pat it dry. Crumble it into small pieces with clean hands or a fork. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil if needed, add the tofu, and cook until hot and lightly browned in places. Stir occasionally so moisture can evaporate. Add the carrots near the end so they soften slightly while retaining texture. The tofu should be heated throughout. Whisk the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, and warm water in a small bowl. Taste and adjust lime or water. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir until it coats the tofu. Cook briefly until the mixture is steaming and the sauce has thickened enough to stay in the leaves. If the filling becomes dry, add a spoonful of water. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the scallions. Arrange the cabbage leaves on a platter and spoon in the tofu mixture just before serving. Add herbs, a squeeze of lime, or chopped peanuts when safe. Serve with rice, noodles, fruit, soup, or another side according to hunger and preference. The filling can also go into a wrap or grain bowl if cabbage cups are inconvenient. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and store leaves separately for better texture.
