This is a nice and simple dish with all my favourite ingredients combined – tofu, spinach, mushrooms. The sauce is a godsend because it helps to elevate the ingredients and make them so tasty, with or without rice. All in all, it is a great dish to make for a simple meal if all you want is a fuss-free dinner after a busy day at work.
