Spicy Tofu Laksa

Tried this recipe?Mention @plantd.co or tag us #plantd for a feature!
This Spicy Tofu Laksa is a winter meal that will warm your belly. It contains a number of medicinal spices that are full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, such as turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander.
Tamari marinated tofu provides the protein in this dish, but this can be exchanged for a plant-based protein of your choice. Adding in additional vegetables according to seasonal availability is a great way to bulk up an already wholesome and delicious dinner.
