This is another really quick, easy meal that is a great source of protein, iron, and calcium. You’ll need to prepare and use the (Sorta) Spicy Peanut Sauce – which is really simple and easy – and, if you’d like, serve with a side of rice or quinoa.

Instructions
- Cube and press the tofu. Here’s a guide to pressing tofu, if you need some advice.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and soy sauce. Add the tofu and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute one side of the tofu until it lightly browns, then flip it and repeat. (approx 5 minutes per side)
- Steam the spinach until it turns a nice green. Make sure to not over-steam!
- Serve with rice or quinoa (optional) and top with peanut sauce and sriracha to taste.

Notes
- For Air Fried Tofu: You can follow this process for air fried tofu then combine it with the remaining elements to serve.
- For Baked Tofu with Peanut Sauce: After pressing the tofu, coat it with the oil and soy sauce. Then toss with around 1 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch for a light dusting (remove any excess- this will help produce crispier baked tofu) and the salt and pepper. Then bake in the oven at 400F/205C for 25-30 minutes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, flipping once halfway. You can then serve the baked tofu with peanut sauce OR transfer both to a pan and sauté until the sauce is warm and the tofu thoroughly coated.
