Equipment

  • Chef's Knife - Essential for cutting vegetables and tofu into desired sizes.

  • Cutting Board - Provides a stable surface for chopping ingredients safely.

  • Skillet (Non-stick) - Ideal for sautéing sweet potatoes and kale, as well as frying the tofu until crispy.

  • Mandoline Slicer - Useful for thinly slicing sweet potatoes into consistent strips or shreds.

  • Spice Grinder - Perfect for grinding mustard seeds and spices if you're preparing your own mustard crust.

  • Mixing Bowls (Set of 3) - To hold various ingredients while mixing the marinade, dry rubs or salad components separately.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons - Necessary for accurately measuring out your spices and other ingredients.

  • Food Processor (optional) - Can be used to blend kale into a puree, which can then be incorporated into the dish as needed.

  • Candy Thermometer - If you're making caramelized sweet potato, this tool will help ensure it reaches the perfect temperature without burning.

  • Digital Scale (optional) - For precise measurements of ingredients, which can enhance consistency and flavor in your recipe.

  • Silicone Baking Mat - Useful for any step that requires baking or cooking on a flat surface; however, this might not be directly needed for the listed recipe but could still find its use elsewhere in meal preparation.
