Preparation
Step 1
Purée tofu in a blender until smooth and the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer to a small bowl.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook scallions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add ginger, chile, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is softened and mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Working in batches, add handfuls of spinach, letting it wilt slightly before adding more and stirring occasionally, until all the spinach is in the pan. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted and bright green, about 3 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in tofu mixture and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt.

I make this a few times a year for winter holiday meals - it's simple, scalable, delicious, and a crowd-pleaser (across dietary choices)! Because silken tofu is creamy, yet mild and light, the spinach shines, which I think is an improvement over dairy-based creamed dishes. The aromatics enhance the brightness of the dish, and it pairs nicely with heavier traditional holiday dishes by cutting through the richness. For those accustomed to a thicker cream, I found that a little cornstarch slurry stirred in at the end does the trick, and it still reheats beautifully.
