I fell in love with this dish at my local Thai restaurant. Steamed spinach and baked tofu is smothered in a sweet peanut sauce. Serve over steamed white sticky rice. You can substitute chicken or other meat if you prefer.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups uncooked sushi (sticky) or medium-grain rice
4 cups water
⅔ cup peanut butter
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
1 (8 ounce) package baked tofu, cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • In a separate saucepan, whisk together the peanut butter, 1 cup hot water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more hot water 1/4 cup at a time to maintain a pourable consistency.
  • Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Place the spinach and tofu into a steamer basket and set over the boiling water. Cover and steam until spinach has wilted and tofu is heated through, about 7 minutes.
  • To serve, place spinach and tofu over white rice and smother in peanut sauce.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup green onion, pieces in 1 inch lengths
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 cup firm tofu or 1 -2 cup extra firm tofu, in 1/2 inch cubes
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable broth until it begins simmering, then add the green onion, garlic, and tofu.
  • Let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the spinach leaves and simmer another 5 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper (and a tiny bit Tabasco, if you like) then serve immediately.
  • Note: regarding the 1 to 2 cups tofu- it depends on how"chunky" you want your soup or how many people you're feeding; you can also add a bit more vegetable broth, but not more than an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup or you'll dilute the coconut milk too much.
  • Also, you can make this a non-vegetarian soup by substituting tofu with cubed cooked chicken.
