INGREDIENTS
300g Firm Tofu
75g Shelled Edamame
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice (approx. 120g)
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Grated Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture using a clean towel for at least 15 minutes. Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to form a flavorful marinade.
Gently toss the tofu cubes in the marinade ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook brown rice according to package instructions if not already prepared and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated tofu. Fry the tofu cubes until they turn golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the shelled edamame to the pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm them through without overcooking.
In a separate pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the fresh spinach with a splash of water and a pinch of garlic (or the remaining minced garlic if desired) until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Plate the crispy tofu and edamame mixture over a bed of warm brown rice and top with the sautéed garlic spinach. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and an extra drizzle of soy sauce if preferred.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
