A quick and delightful recipe for Kenyan Sukuma Wiki with Spiced Tofu, featuring sautéed collard greens and crispy tofu.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups collard greens, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to preference)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for around 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Incorporate the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for another minute until the mixture is aromatic.
- Toss in the chopped tomato along with the cumin, coriander, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomato to break down and meld with the spices.
- Introduce the collard greens to the pan, mixing thoroughly. Cover and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the greens are wilted and tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tofu by cutting it into cubes and coating them with tamari and cornstarch until well covered.
- In a different pan, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning them regularly until they are golden and crispy on all sides.
- Once the greens are ready, mix in the lime juice and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the sautéed greens topped with the crispy tofu for a delightful meal.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk to the greens while cooking.
- Feel free to swap collard greens for kale or spinach to explore different flavors and textures.
