    How to Prepare Farro Bowl with Tofu, ­Mushrooms, and Spinach [Vegan]

    1. Spread tofu over paper towel–lined plate, let drain for 20 minutes, then gently press dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
    2. Gently toss drained tofu with cornstarch in bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in 12‑inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu and brown lightly on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes; transfer to clean paper towel–lined plate to drain.
    3. In now-empty skillet, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Stir in mushrooms, shallot, and remaining pinch salt and cook until vegetables begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until skillet is nearly dry, about 1 minute; transfer to bowl. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat in again-empty skillet until shimmering. Add spinach, 1 handful at a time, and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
    4. Toss farro with sesame oil and vinegar then season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among individual bowls then top with tofu, mushrooms, and spinach. Drizzle with miso--ginger sauce, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.

    Notes

    Instead of farro, you can try quinoa, barley, or brown rice.
