Noodles and Spinach With Tofu image

A little different than some of the other recipes I've read, so I posted. This came from the Buffalo News and is my favorite way to eat tofu. It's important to put the noodles in before the spinach or the spinach with soak up all the sauce. I always add some finely chopped onions to this recipe because I like them, but iIll post the original. It's high in mono and poly-unsaturated fats (good fats), has a bunch of fiber, is a vegan meal, and most importantly, super good! Even my parents, who hate tofu, love this.

Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb whole wheat spaghetti, cooked
1 lb frozen or fresh steamed spinach
1 -1 1/2 lb firm tofu, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 -4 tablespoons sesame oil
2 -4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 -4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Pour 1-2 tbs sesame oil in large frying pan/wok over medium heat. Ad 1-2 tbs of soy sauce, 1-2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tbs peanut butter and 1 tbs tahini. Stir until mixed into a thick consistency, about 30 seconds.
  • Immediately add tofu and stir to coat. Stir intermittently, allowing tofu to brown before stirring. When tofu is browned remove from pan and set aside, cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat sauce process above, being perhaps a bit more liberal with oil and soy sauce. Add cooked spaghetti and mix through.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll definitely need to add some more seasonings next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili peppers.
