Packed with Nutrients - Our Homemade Style Spinach with Tofu Sauce
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*
