Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • saute pan
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

Tofu and Marinade

  • 12 oz tofu (firm)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Spinach and Tomatoes

  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tofu block in half and place them in between several paper towels. Press down on the tofu to remove the excess moisture. Next, cut the tofu into one-inch cubes. In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic glaze, olive oil, and seasonings. Cover the tofu cubes completely with the marinade.
  • Add oil to a saute pan on medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes on each side until they are golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes on each side). After they cook, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
  • Next, add the spinach and tomatoes and stir them around until the spinach softens and tomatoes get tender. Season with garlic powder and salt.
  • In the end, drizzle the spinach with the balsamic glaze and serve it on top of the tofu cubes.
