Tofu and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tofu

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, chili paste, minced garlic, and water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In the same skillet, add the sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the fried tofu back into the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Serve the tofu hot, garnished with chopped peanuts and sliced green onions.
