Method

Tofu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the cubed tofu and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat with Cornstarch

    After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss gently until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tofu

    Add the tofu cubes to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Peanut Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, Sriracha, brown sugar, garlic, and water.

  2. 7

    Heat Sauce

    Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes.

  3. 8

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Tofu

    Arrange the fried tofu on a serving plate.

  2. 10

    Drizzle Sauce

    Drizzle the warm peanut sauce over the fried tofu.

  3. 11

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts on top. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
