Steps

1

Wrap the tofu in paper towels, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to drain excess water.
2

Rinse the spinach well, then parboil for 2 minutes in a generous amount of boiling water, dunking the stalk in first (For those who dislike the taste of the pink part of the stalk, remove it. It's edible if well-rinsed. It's actually quite tasty!)
3

Once the spinach is parboiled, chill in cold water, squeeze out any excess water, then cut into 5 cm lengths.
4

Put the spinach from Step 3 into a bowl, then toss with the ● ingredients. Mash the tofu with your hands and mix it well with the spinach.
5

Add salt (not listed) to taste, then serve.
6

You can also cook the spinach in a microwave by wrapping it in plastic wrap after rinsing!
