Before You Start

Press and cube the tofu, cut the broccoli into florets, rinse the spinach, grate the ginger, and have the cooked jasmine rice ready.

How To Make It
  1. Sear the cubed tofu in a little oil over medium high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp at the edges, then set it aside.
  2. Add the broccoli florets to the pan with a splash of water and cook 5 to 6 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
  3. Add the spinach and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, coconut aminos, and ginger and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened, then return the tofu.
  5. Squeeze in the lime and fold in the basil off the heat.
  6. Spoon over the cooked jasmine rice and serve.
Fix It: If the sauce breaks and looks oily, lower the heat and stir in a spoonful of water, since a hard boil splits coconut milk.
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.
