Tofu Preparation
- 1
Press the Tofu
Begin by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu between two plates and place a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes.

Cut and Marinate
After pressing, cut the tofu into small cubes. In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Fry the Tofu
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sauté Spinach and Scallions
In the same skillet used for the tofu, add the fresh spinach and chopped scallions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the scallions are tender.
