Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided
  • 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, squeezed dry and cubed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened green tea
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick coins
  • 1 cup fresh organic yellow corn kernels (from 2 medium ears)
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups packed fresh baby spinach
  • 1 recipe Coconut Curry Sauce (see below)
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut chips or roasted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves


Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a well-seasoned wok or extra-large, deep, (PFOA-free) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the tofu until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Heat the tea and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and corn and cook while stirring for 3 minutes. Add the tomato and shallots and cook while stirring until all vegetables are cooked through and begin to caramelize, about 7 more minutes.
  3. Add the spinach and tofu and stir to evenly combine, about 1 minute. Add the curry-coconut sauce and stir until sauce slightly thickens, about 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle with the coconut chips and cilantro.
