Before You Start

Pat the tofu dry and cube it, trim the green beans, rinse the spinach, mince the garlic, and have the cooked rice warm.

How To Make It
  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium high, about 1 minute, until it shimmers.
  2. Add the tofu and sear, turning now and then, 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and crisp on all sides, then set it aside.
  3. Add the green beans and cook, 4 to 5 minutes, until they turn bright and just tender.
  4. Add the spinach and cook, 2 to 3 minutes, until it wilts down and turns glossy.
  5. Lower the heat, add the smoked paprika, garlic, and saffron, and cook, about 1 minute, until fragrant and the oil turns deep red.
  6. Toss the tofu back in, then serve everything over the brown rice.
Fix It: If the paprika tastes bitter, it scorched; keep the heat low next time so the spices bloom instead of burn.
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.
