Before You Start

Press the tofu dry and cube it so it browns, trim the green beans, mince the garlic, and warm the cooked rice.

How To Make It
  1. Season the tofu and sear it in the olive oil over medium high, 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp on several sides, then set it aside.
  2. Cook the green beans in the same pan, 4 to 5 minutes, until bright and just tender.
  3. Add the peas and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green.
  4. Bloom the smoked paprika, garlic, and saffron in a little olive oil, about 1 minute, until fragrant and the oil turns golden.
  5. Add the spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted, then return the tofu and toss to coat.
  6. Serve over the brown rice.
Fix It: If the tofu sticks and tears, wait until it releases on its own before flipping, since a good crust lets go of the pan.
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 21 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.
