Spinach Tofu with Mushroom Sauce

Spinach Tofu Recipe

Recipe by Trish yee
This is a commonly seen dish in many Chinese restaurants. Tofu is super easy to make at home and it is very high in nutrients! If you are looking to make just egg tofu, you can omit the spinach. You can also get creative by infusing other ingredients into the tofu mixture!
