Ingredients for Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu with Kale

• 1 block firm or extra firm tofu (I use sprouted), drained and chopped into small cubes
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp chilli powder
• 1-2 fresh chilis
• 1/4 tsp salt (add more if you like to taste)
• small bunch of kale
• 2 tbsp olive oil for stir fry + 2 tbsp olive oil for kale
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
• 1/4 cup roasted cashews

Directions for Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu with Kale

1. Drain tofu (I usually do this by placing it between 2 plates, putting something heavy on top, and letting it sit for about 10-20 minutes).
2. Mix all of the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Add 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
4. Add garlic and heat until the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add all of the spices and combine well with the garlic, add a little bit of water if necessary.
6. Add the tofu and green onions and coat well with the spices.
7. Cook for a couple of minutes over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
8. Wash kale and chop into bite sized pieces. Steam kale for about 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle with olive oil.
9. Top the kale with the tofu and the cashews. Add the lemon juice and garnish with the fresh cilantro.

Enjoy!
