Embark on a culinary journey to the Far East with our delectable Asian Cole Slaw, a vibrant fusion of fresh vegetables, savory tofu, earthy shiitake mushrooms, and a tantalizing dressing. This crisp and refreshing salad offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or tofu.
Indulge in a symphony of flavors as you bite into the crisp cabbage, carrots, and red onions, perfectly complemented by the soft and savory tofu and the meaty texture of the shiitake mushrooms. The dressing, a harmonious blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and ground white pepper, adds a touch of umami and a subtle sweetness, elevating the salad to a new level of deliciousness.
In addition to the main recipe, we offer variations to suit your preferences and dietary needs. For a vegan version, simply omit the tofu and use a plant-based mayonnaise instead. For those who prefer a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of Sriracha or red pepper flakes to the dressing. And for a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

QUICK ASIAN-STYLE COLE SLAW
This was part of a recipe for tilapia tacos. I've tweaked it a bit and now make it as a side dish, not just as part of the taco. The last time I made it, I doubled everything and added small, thin strips of red bell pepper and about a handful of snow pea-pods, cut into thirds.

ASIAN PASTA WITH TOFU, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BROCCOLI
A great healthy recipe from the NY Times. (You can prepare the ingredients and blanch the broccoli hours ahead of cooking the dish. The stir-frying is a last-minute operation.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and blanch for 1 minute. Remove to the ice water. Allow to cool, then drain and dry on paper towels. Cover the pot of water and keep hot.
- Heat a wide, heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it is rippling hot, add the mushrooms and sear for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Turn the heat to medium, add the garlic, ginger, scallions, and red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil until rippling. Add the tofu and sear on both sides until it begins to color, about 1 minute per side. Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce and stir together. Return the mushroom mixture and the broccoli to the pan. Add the stock and soy sauce, bring to a simmer and turn the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for a minute or two, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, then turn off the heat.
- Meanwhile, bring the pot of water back to a boil and add the pasta. Cook soba or udon noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes. Cook softened rice noodles for 1 minute. Drain and toss with the mushrooms and the broccoli. Heat through, add the cilantro and sesame oil, toss together, and serve.
SHREDDED TOFU AND SHIITAKE STIR-FRY
Shredding tofu on a box grater before stir-frying gives it a fluffy, light texture, and the smaller pieces readily absorb the complex, earthy mushroom flavor of the sauce. Unlike with many tofu dishes, you're not looking to sear the tofu here, just to warm it up in the sauce. The caramelized flavor is supplied by the shiitake mushrooms, which should be cooked until they are well browned and crisp-edged. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can leave it out.

Steps:
- Using the coarse holes of a box grater, shred the tofu. Spread tofu out on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the sauce and mushrooms.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing, lime juice and sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot, then add the peanut oil; it should thin out on contact. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the scallion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chile and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the tofu from the towel into the skillet. Toss in the edamame and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until mixture is heated through. Season with salt as needed. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Serve with lime wedges.

SOBA NOODLES WITH TOFU, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BROCCOLI
I like to use soba for this dish. The buckwheat noodles have a nutty flavor and contribute a measure of all-important whole grain to the dish.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots.
- You can use any type of tofu you like, but firm or extra-firm tofu will hold its shape best.
- If you don't have shiitake mushrooms, you can use other types of mushrooms, such as cremini or white mushrooms.
- Be sure to drain the tofu well before adding it to the salad.
- If you want a spicier salad, add more chili sauce or Sriracha.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This Asian cole slaw with tofu and shiitake mushrooms is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
