100 g napa cabbage, shredded
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Additional dill for garnish optional

Method

In a saucepan, bring 200 ml of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Pour in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Allow it to steam for about 5 minutes until fluffy.
While the couscous is cooking, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté for about 7–10 minutes, until golden brown.
Stir in the diced bell peppers and shredded cabbage to the pan, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the tofu and vegetable stir-fry, stirring until everything is well coated.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and fold it gently into the tofu and vegetable mix.
Remove from heat and incorporate the fresh dill.
Serve warm, topped with a spoonful of plain yogurt and a sprinkle of additional dill, if desired.
