Instructions
Creating your own Spinach, Tofu and Sesame Stir-Fry can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2. Coat the Tofu: In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch for a light, crispy coating.
3. Heat the Wok: In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Tofu: Add the tofu to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
5. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Include Vegetables: Add spinach, bell pepper, and carrot (if using) to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the veggies are slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Season: Pour the soy sauce evenly over the mixture. Stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
8. Finish with Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry, giving it a final toss.
9. Taste and Adjust: Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
10. Serve Hot: Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!
