Saag Soy Paneer Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

Tofu isn't necessarily one of the mainstays of the indian pantry but soy paneer as it's known in india does make its way into quite a few dishes, including this saag soy paneer, adapted from andrea nguyen's asian tofu. The tofu here stands in as a vegan variation of traditional paneer, a squeaky, mild fresh cows milk cheese. To mimic the texture and salty flavors, nguyen soaks the tofu in salted water before drying and pan frying it.
