Ingredients for vegan braised cabbage

Steps to Follow

Preparing the Ingredients

Rinse the cabbage thoroughly and cut it into pieces about 2-3 cm thick. Soak the cabbage in diluted saltwater for about 10 minutes to remove impurities, then rinse again with clean water and let it drain.

Wash the green onions and chop them finely. Rinse the bird’s eye chili, then mince it. Cut the soft tofu into bite-sized squares.

Making the Braising Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of chili sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of vegan seasoning powder. Stir the mixture well until all the seasonings are fully dissolved.

Sautéing the Ingredients

Heat a pan over the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped green onions and minced chili, and sauté until fragrant. Then, pour the prepared braising sauce into the pan and stir over medium heat until it starts to simmer gently.

Braising the Cabbage

Arrange the cabbage and tofu in the pot, and pour the braising sauce evenly over them. Add about 100ml of water to the pot, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the cabbage for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens and the cabbage absorbs the flavors.

Finishing and Serving

Turn off the heat, sprinkle some ground black pepper and chopped green onions on top to enhance the flavor. Serve the vegan braised cabbage hot with white rice.
