Bean curd and cabbage is a staple of Chinese cooking, Tannahill, p. 146 while the British dish bubble and squeak is made primarily with leftover potato and boiled cabbage and eaten with cold meat.
The meat was traditionally added to the bubble and squeak itself, although nowadays it is more commonly made without meat.
