Serves 4 / Prep tip: Stir in baby spinach leaves at the end of cooking for extra nutrition. Serving tip: Balance the spice with a scoop of plain yogurt on top.
8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons curry powder, divided
¼ cup sliced almonds
1½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 14.5-ounce can low-sodium chopped tomatoes, drained
1¼ cups frozen peas
½ cup packed cilantro leaves
-
Cut tofu horizontally into two ¾-inch-thick slabs. Press each slab between towels to remove moisture. Sprinkle salt on top and bottom of each slab, then rub in 1 teaspoon curry powder. Cut tofu into ¾-inch chunks.
-
Pour almonds into a wide skillet over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until almonds are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour out onto a plate. Turn heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon oil and tofu. Carefully turning tofu with a spatula, cook until pale golden, 5 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Cover to keep warm.
-
Add remaining ½ tablespoon oil to pan, followed by garlic and ginger. Lightly brown garlic, then add tomatoes and remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder. Stir and cook 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes lose most of their moisture. Stir in peas, cover, and cook until peas are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water if pan becomes dry.
-
Scatter tofu over tomato-pea mixture, cover, and heat through, about 2 minutes. Carefully stir in cilantro. Garnish with almonds and serve.
