    List of Ingredients




    Sauce
    5 tablespoons water
    4 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
    2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
    2 teaspoons honey
    2 teaspoons minced ginger
    2 cloves garlic, minced

    Tofu & Vegetables
    2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    14 ounces extra-firm tofu, preferably water-packed
    4 cups baby spinach (6 ounces)
    1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms (4 ounces)
    4 scallions, sliced (1 cup)

    Recipe



    1. Drain, rinse and pat dry one 14-ounce block of extra-firm tofu. Slice the block crosswise into eight 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Coarsely crumble each slice into smaller, uneven pieces.

    2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tofu and cook in a single layer, without stirring, until the pieces begin to turn golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Then gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes more.

    3. Add vegetables and sauce and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes more.

    To prepare sauce: Whisk the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

    To prepare tofu: Follow Steps 1 and 2. Add spinach, mushrooms, scallions and the peanut sauce and finish as directed in Step 3.
