Before You Start

Press the tofu dry and cube it, slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, dice the tomato, and rinse the spinach.

How To Make It
  1. Season the tofu and sear it in the olive oil over medium high, 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp on several sides, then set it aside.
  2. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, 5 to 6 minutes, until browned and their liquid has cooked off.
  3. Add the garlic and diced tomato and simmer, 3 to 4 minutes, until the tomato softens into a loose sauce.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts, then fold in the basil.
  5. Return the tofu, toss to coat, and serve over the brown rice.
Fix It: If the tomato sauce looks dry, add a splash of water so it stays saucy instead of pasty.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 16 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
