Low-Sodium Savory Tofu & Garden Greens

     As you may remember from my recent post here, I am on a clean eating adventure. I'm trying to cut out the excess sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats that have been making my bod feel like a junk yard. Last night I created a delicious and nutritious meal for my dinner that I loved so much I just had to share. I felt full, satisfied, and fantastic after eating it. Also, the mild spice was just what I needed to help cool me down on a particularly HOT evening here in New England.

     A couple of notes:
I count this as "low-sodium" because I added no salt to the dish, there is a bit of salt in the red chili sauce that I used, but I only used a bit of it and salt is far enough down on the ingredients list that I think it barely counts. Also, please note that I would recommend using even more garden greens than are shown in my picture, I only had a small handful that were ready for harvest last night. Lastly, I wrote that the recipe serves 1-4. I ate the entire thing myself last night and it was a hearty meal for me, but served with additional sides (preferably more veg or some healthy whole grains) this could serve up to 4 people!

Turn heat to low, tear greens into 1-2 inch pieces. Add greens, cilantro and minced garlic. Stir lightly until greens are just wilted and garlic is fragrant.
