    How to Make Spinach, Tofu, and Sesame Stir-Fry

    1. Sauté the Tofu

    Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced tofu and stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it is golden and crispy.

    2. Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and red chili flakes, letting them cook for about 1 minute until the garlic softens and the mixture is aromatic.

    3. Wilt the Spinach

    Add the baby spinach to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until the spinach wilts and is evenly mixed with the tofu and aromatics.

    4. Add Sesame Seeds and Soy Sauce

    Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the spinach and tofu mixture, and add soy sauce to taste. Stir quickly to evenly distribute the sesame seeds and soy sauce.

    5. Finish with Sesame Oil

    Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the stir-fry to a serving bowl, and drizzle with sesame oil before serving.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Add ingredients in the correct order

    start with the tofu, follow with aromatics, then spinach, and introduce sauce towards the end of cooking.
