Sunday dinner: Noodles with tofu, spinach, peapods + chili-garlic-lime chicken

Tofu Meemaw strikes again.  Last night I made her recipe for tofu with spinach.  It’s braised in a mix of ginger, scallion, garlic, soy sauce, and vegetable broth, and then I tossed it with udon noodles.  Recipe after the jump.

Tofu with Spinach and Tomatoes

I went for sushi with my friend T., and we ate miso soup and a tofu appetizer, and I said, “I like to eat tofu, but I don’t know how to cook it.”  Two days later, I met her for dim sum (it was a weekend of feasting in honor of her birthday), and she solved my problem.   I get a tofu cookbook, she gets the book out of the house so her boyfriend stops slavering  over the incredibly erotic images of the author, Christine Liu, also known as “Tofu Mee Maw.”

Saucy minx.

Tonight I tried her recipe for Tofu with Tomato and Spinach.
