Packed with Nutrients - Our Homemade Style Spinach with Tofu Sauce
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Since tofu sauce has a lot of nutrition, I wanted to optimize it even more while preparing the vegetables.
Carefully press out all the excess water from the tofu.
I avoided parboiling the spinach and carrots to preserve the nutrients as much as possible.
If the taste is a bit weak, add a touch of miso. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by *Anna*

I had a craving for doria. But I was also on a diet…So, I made this quick dish using a simple tofu sauce.Add any filling of your choice, like corn or sautéed mushrooms.Take care not to heat the tofu too much when draining, since it should contain at least a small amount of water.This dish also tastes amazing with firm tofu.
