Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Toss tofu cubes in the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tofu cubes in a single layer for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
  6. Fold in thawed spinach and chopped artichokes. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Nestle the fried tofu cubes on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or crunchy veggies.

Notes

Press tofu thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold spinach and artichokes gently to keep dip light. Fry tofu in batches to avoid steaming. The dip can be made a day ahead and baked before serving. For vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with vegan alternatives and use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free.
