Ingredients
1 block extra firm tofu1 cup orange juice1/4 cup canned mandarin oranges1/4 cup ginger root, cut into 1" slices1 tsp ground gingerEDIT: 3 finely chopped cloves of garlic2 cups raw spinach - without stems1/4 unpacked cup brown sugar
Directions
Cut the block of tofu into 1 inch squares. If necessary, lay the squares out on a clean towel and press to dry.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium (~10") flying pan.

Add the tofu and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the surface is a light golden brown.

Add garlic, ginger root slices, and ground ginger, stirring frequently to keep the garlic from burning. Cook for 5 minutes.

Add spinach and continue to cook for 3 minutes.

Add orange juice and brown sugar, lower heat, and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

Serve with 5 or 6 little mandarin oranges.

Can be served alone or over a bed of rice.

    I liked this, but didn't care for the ginger slices. Next time, I'll grate the ginger and use more mandrin oranges & spinach, and add a few spices. And maybe add some corn starch to thicken the sauce. - 9/17/08
