I made this dish as the dish of the day in my business last week and I absolutely adored it! I found that all the ingredients had their place for a great balance of flavors and texture that was incredibly satisfying! So I'm sharing the recipe with you. Roasted squash, chicken-style tofu from my recipe last year, a creamy sauce, fresh spinach, and basmati rice.
Prepare the squash: peel the butternut squash (it's easier with a knife or a serrated peeler!). Cut it into small 1 cm x 1 cm cubes. On a baking sheet, place the squash cubes, pour the oil, and add salt and pepper. Mix and bake at 390°F (200°C) for 50 minutes.
Prepare the "chicken" tofu: with your hands, tear the block of tofu into irregular pieces (mine are about 2 cm x 2 cm, but it doesn't need to be perfect!).
In a mixing bowl, combine the tofu with all the other ingredients.
Spread everything out on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 30 minutes!
Cook the basmati rice in water.
Prepare the sauce: using a whisk or a blender, mix all the ingredients with 60 mL of cold water!
Serve in each deep plate a portion of rice, fresh spinach, a portion of roasted squash, and chicken tofu nuggets. Add the sauce and it's ready!
NotesFor a gluten free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
