This Smoked Tofu and Kale Stir-Fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The tofu is smoked for a rich, savory flavor, and the kale is wilted until tender. The whole dish is then tossed in a simple sauce made with soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. This stir-fry is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to use up some leftover tofu. I had smoked the tofu a few days before, and I was really impressed with the flavor. I thought that the smokiness would pair well with the bitterness of the kale, and I was right! This stir-fry is now a staple in my weeknight rotation.
