This is another really quick, easy meal that is a great source of protein, iron, and calcium.
You’ll need to prepare and use the (Sorta) Spicy Peanut Sauce – which is really simple and easy – and, if you’d like, serve with a side of rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
- 10 oz Block of Tofu
- 1/2 Bunch of Spinach
- 2 Teaspoons Sesame Oil (you could use water but the sesame oil adds a great flavor)
- 2 Teaspoons of soy sauce
- Salt, Pepper to Taste
- Sriracha to Taste
Method
Step 1
Cube and press the tofu (i put them in an absorbent towel and apply pressure).
Step 2
Prepare the (Sorta) Spicy Peanut Sauce
Step 3
Heat the oil and soy sauce, then add the tofu. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Sear one side of the tofu, then flip and repeat. (approx 5 minutes a side)
Step 4
Steam the spinach until it turns a nice green. Don't over-steam!
Step 5
Serve with rice (or not) and top with peanut sauce and sriracha to taste.

I substituted half a bunch of kale for the spinach and sautéed it right with the tofu and added about a tablespoon of sriracha to the peanut sauce, it turned out fantastic!

Made this and added diced red onion, chopped green bell pepper and a shredded carrot to the tofu while it was frying. Delicious.

This looks fabulous and pretty easy to make. But really, 5 minutes to prep? In whose dreams? And that’s assuming you’ve already made the peanut sauce and rice (or quinoa) and have it on hand.
Please be realistic in your time estimates and don’t treat us like a bunch of fools.
