Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into slices and marinate in chimichurri sauce for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the black bean pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped green onions and Napa cabbage, sautéing until soft, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tofu

    In another skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu slices and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss gently to combine, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the vegetable pasta, topping with the seared tofu, pickled onions, and drizzle with carrot ginger-miso dressing. Serve immediately.
