Ingredients
450 g super firm tofu, pressed well
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
120 ml sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
0.5 teaspoon oregano
0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
240 ml vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
240 ml cashew cream or other vegan cream
2 cups baby spinach, chopped
4-5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
120 g vegan parmesan, optional
Instructions
Pat the tofu dry and slice it into triangles.
Mix cornstarch, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat tofu in this mixture.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan fry tofu until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Stir in vegetable broth, tomato paste, cream, and spinach. Simmer until spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and parmesan. Nestle tofu in sauce and flip to coat.
Serve immediately over rice or pasta.
