Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb frozen spinach
  • 1 medium onion diced small
  • 2 frozen Dorot brand ginger cubes more if you like a stronger flavor
  • 3 frozen Dorot brand garlic cubes more if you like a stronger flavor
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons miso
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 cups cherry tomatoes optional
  • 1 block sprouted extra firm tofu cubed
  • 1/2 can coconut milk or equivalent in other nondairy milk

Instructions
 

  • For optional roasted tomatoes: preheat oven to 400f. Arrange 2-3 cups cherry/grape tomatoes on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until beginning to blacken.
  • Heat large skillet on medium high.
  • Sautee onions until translucent. (You do not need to add oil. Just keep stirring so it won't burn.)
  • Add garlic and ginger and sautee until fragrant.
  • Add frozen spinach and cook, stirring, for 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Mix tomato paste, miso, and salt into about 2 cups of water, then add to spinach mixture.
  • Add tofu and roasted tomatoes and incorporate well. If there's not enough liquid to allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes or so, add a half cup of water at a time as needed.
  • Reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to cook and the liquid to reduce, stirring regularly (be gentle so tofu doesn't crumble).
  • After cooking down until still very wet but not sitting in a pool of liquid, add the coconut milk and stir gently until well incorporated. If mixture is too thick for your preference, add a half cup of water at a time and allow to heat before serving.
  • Serve over brown rice and enjoy!
