Crispy pan-fried tofu cubes tossed with zucchini and spinach in a savory garlic-ginger sauce.

This savory stir-fry brings together protein-rich tofu and tender zucchini (often referred to as baby marrow) in a robust garlic-soy sauce. The addition of fresh spinach and green onions adds vibrant color and nutrition, making it a balanced meal that comes together in under 20 minutes. The technique of dusting the tofu creates a delightful texture that soaks up the umami-rich flavors, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that minimizes food waste.

Ingredients

300 g Firm Tofu
2 medium Zucchini (Marrow)
60 g Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
45 ml Soy Sauce
1 tsp Sesame Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Ginger
2 stalks Green Onions
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for frying)

Instructions

1
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes. Toss cubes in flour to coat lightly.
2
Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons. Chop the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions.
3
Heat olive oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry until golden on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
4
In the same pan, add the zucchini and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
5
Return the tofu to the pan. Add the spinach and pour over the soy sauce and sesame oil.
6
Toss everything together gently until the spinach wilts and the sauce coats the ingredients.
7
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
