Tofu Stir Fry


Probably one of the easiest recipes to make. Feeds 2-3 people depending on how much tofu you use. 

Level: Super Easy
Taste: So good!!

Ingredients: 

  • 1 Block of extra firm tofu (can use two)
  • 1 Bag of spinach
  • 3 Chopped Shallots
  • 1 Chopped Red Chili Pepper or Jalapeño Pepper 
  • 1 Tbsp ground garlic, or 5 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 Tbsp ground ginger
  • A little over 3/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • Corn Starch for the Tofu
  • 1 Cup of brown rice
  • Salt & Pepper to taste


1) Cut the tofu into cubes, pat down and coat with a dusting of corn starch. Heat the pan with a bit of whatever oil you like to use (I used chili sesame oil, or you can use olive oil...) and fry the tofu in the pan until brown and slightly crispy on all sides. 

2) Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside on a plate. At medium temperature, add the chopped shallots and chili. Then add the ginger and garlic (careful, don't let it burn). Stir the mixture well and let cook for a few minutes. It should start smelling really good at this point. Add the soy sauce to deglaze the pan and let cook for about a minute. 

3) Add the spinach and then put a pan cover over everything to help wilt down the spinach. Once the spinach is wilted and mixed into the shallot/ginger/soy sauce concoction, throw in the tofu, mix around, and VOILA...food. 

4) Serve over brown rice.
