  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) sesame seeds

Method

4 steps

For the sauce

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Set aside.

Tofu and Spinach

  1. Step 1

    In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the spinach in the sesame oil, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Keep warm.
  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet over medium-high heat, cook half of the tofu at a time in the vegetable oil for 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Set aside on a plate. Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return the tofu to the skillet and stir to coat well in the sauce. Sprinkle with the green onions.
  3. Step 3

    Serve the tofu with the sauce, sesame spinach and, if desired, jasmine rice.
