  Chinese · Salad

  Shredded tofu, browned hard in a hot pan until the edges go crisp and savoury, over a great heap of wombok, red cabbage and carrot. The trick is the cheese grater — tofu shredded rather than cubed catches the pan on every surface and stops eating like tofu.

• Cottage Cheese Toast with Tomato and Chives

  Australian / modern · Breakfast

  Cottage cheese has quietly become the easiest way to get twenty grams of protein onto a plate before work. Spread it thick on hot sourdough, pile sliced tomato on top, and season it properly — that last part is what makes it a breakfast rather than a diet.
