Description
A flavorful twist on the traditional Kenyan dish, Sukuma Wiki, featuring spiced tofu for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups collard greens, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced tomato, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens.
- Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the greens are tender, stirring occasionally.
- While the greens are cooking, prepare the tofu. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and toss with soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a separate skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Once the collard greens are cooked, stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the sukuma wiki topped with the spiced tofu.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can include a splash of coconut milk to the sukuma wiki while cooking.
- Substitute collard greens with kale or spinach for a different taste and texture.
