Ingredients:

(serves 5 – 6)

  • 3 pieces pastry sheet (square shaped)
  • 180 g (2 cups) carrot, grated
  • 130 g (1 ½ cups) cabbage, chopped finely
  • 430 g (2 ½ cups) soy beans, soaked overnight and boiled until soft
  • 10 g (1 whole) red onion, finely chopped
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) tomato paste
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) soya milk
  • 10 ml (1 tablespoon) oil
  • 10 ml (2 teaspoons) sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté red onion until fragrant and crispy.
  2. Add carrot and cabbage. Cook for further 1 – 2 minutes.
  3. Blend soy beans in blender and pour into the pan. Stir in the tomato paste, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
