I fell in love with this dish at my local Thai restaurant. Steamed spinach and baked tofu is smothered in a sweet peanut sauce. Serve over steamed white sticky rice. You can substitute chicken or other meat if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked sushi (sticky) or medium-grain rice
- 4 cups water
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
- 1 (8 ounce) package baked tofu, cut into bite-size pieces
Directions
Step 1
Combine the rice and 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate saucepan, whisk together the peanut butter, 1 cup hot water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more hot water 1/4 cup at a time to maintain a pourable consistency.
Step 3
Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Place the spinach and tofu into a steamer basket and set over the boiling water. Cover and steam until spinach has wilted and tofu is heated through, about 7 minutes.
Step 4
To serve, place spinach and tofu over white rice and smother in peanut sauce.
