   3      Tablespoons   Oil
   3      Cloves        Garlic -- minced or pressed
   1      Cup           Onion -- thinly sliced
   6      Cups          Cabbage Mix -- coarsely chopped *

* pak choi, chard, kale, nappa or 9 cup chopped spinach

Gently squeeze as much liquid out of thawed tofu as possible. Cut
tofu crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices, then diagonally, to make 4
triangles. Combine marinade ingredients and mix well. Arrange tofu
triangles in one layer in a dish and cover with marinade. Allow to sit
for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Prepare sauce mix by
combining all ingredients in a small bowl. In a separate bowl mix the
water or stock and the 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Dredge marinated tofu
pieces in cornmeal or cornstarch and fry over medium heat in 1/8 to 1/4
inch of oil, for 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain and keep warm in 200F
oven. Add leftover marinade to sauce mix. Heat 3 tablespoon oil in a
wok. Stir-fry garlic and onion until onion is tender. Add greens and
continue stir-frying until just wilted but not mushy. Add sauce mix
and cornstarch mix and stir-fry just until sauce is thickened. Add
reserved fried tofu.
