01
Step 1
Start by tossing the tofu with a tablespoon of oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let it sit and soak up those flavors for about half an hour. While the tofu is marinating, throw the broccoli and carrot into a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover it and microwave for around 2 and a half minutes until just tender.

Step 2
Next, heat another tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Add the spinach, onion, cucumber, radish, a pinch of salt, and a little nutmeg, stirring until the spinach wilts, which should take about a minute. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, peanut butter, ginger, and some black pepper, then mix in the cooked broccoli and carrots. Turn the heat down to low and cover the wok to keep everything warm.

Step 3
In a separate pan over medium heat, cook the marinated tofu with a splash of soy sauce until it’s heated through, about 3 minutes. Once done, add it to the veggies in the wok.

Step 4
Meanwhile, bring some water to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous, a bit of margarine, and garlic, then stir everything together. Cover the pot and let it sit off the heat for about 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the couscous is fluffy.
