Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Edamame
Pan-seared tofu cubes tossed with fluffy quinoa, shelled edamame, and fresh spinach in a zesty ginger-lemon dressing, finished with a savory nutritional yeast crunch.
INGREDIENTS
160 grams Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce or Tamari
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Grated Fresh Ginger
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into small, even cubes.
In a small bowl, toss the tofu cubes with half of the soy sauce and all of the nutritional yeast until the tofu is thoroughly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy.
While the tofu cooks, combine the cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, and fresh baby spinach in a large salad bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, lemon juice, and freshly grated ginger to create the dressing.
Drizzle the ginger-lemon dressing over the salad base and toss until the spinach is lightly wilted and the quinoa is well distributed.
Top the salad with the warm, crispy tofu cubes and serve immediately.
