Savory Golden Tofu and Spinach Skillet
If you’re searching for a dish that perfectly balances health, flavor, and convenience, look no further. This Savory Golden Tofu and Spinach Skillet is a culinary lifesaver, ready in just about 10 minutes from start to finish. It’s the kind of meal that feels both nourishing and deeply comforting, making it a favorite for busy weeknights and relaxed weekends alike. The magic lies in its simplicity. We use a straightforward pan-frying and braising technique that transforms humble ingredients into something truly special. The tofu develops a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining wonderfully soft inside, and the spinach wilts into tender, savory perfection. With a delicate, garlicky aroma and a savory flavor profile, this dish is incredibly easy to master, making it a perfect entry point for anyone curious about home-style cooking that packs a nutritional punch. To create this delightful dish, you’ll only need a handful of simple ingredients. The key is to use firm or extra-firm tofu, which holds its shape beautifully when pan-fried. Silken or soft tofu is too delicate and will fall apart here. If you have a few extra minutes, pressing your tofu before cooking will help it get even crispier, but it’s not a mandatory step for this quick recipe. For the greens, fresh spinach is best, but baby spinach also works wonderfully and requires even less prep. Don’t be shy with the amount; it looks like a lot at first, but it cooks down significantly. Here’s your shopping list: Firm or Extra-Firm Tofu: 7 oz (about 200g), patted dry and cut into slices or cubes Fresh Spinach: 9 oz (about 250g), washed thoroughly Garlic: 1 large clove, thinly sliced Salt: ½ teaspoon (or 2g), adjust to your taste White Sugar: ¼ teaspoon (or 1g) White Pepper: ¼ teaspoon (or 1g) Cooking Oil: 1-2 tablespoons…
