How to make spinach and tofu stir-fry for dinner?

Quick Asian-inspired stir-fry with greens and protein

Press and cube firm tofu, then pan-fry until golden for texture. In the same wok or skillet, stir-fry garlic, ginger, and scallions briefly, then add spinach in batches and toss until wilted. Return tofu to the pan and add a sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, a touch of sugar, and sesame oil.

Serve over steamed rice or noodles and top with toasted sesame seeds and chili flakes if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high heat and quick motions to keep spinach vibrant.
  • If using soft tofu, add at the end gently to avoid breaking.
