Ingredients
Scale
1 block (14 oz) of firm tofu
¼ cup of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of ginger, minced
1 cup of vegetable broth
2 scallions, sliced
2 cups of spinach
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them soak for at least 5 minutes.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the spinach and cover the skillet, allowing the spinach to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
Once the spinach has wilted, add the sliced scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before removing from the heat.
