Our soy peanut butter tofu has a satisfying bite; the tofu is light & crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Then coated with a homemade peanut sauce, a staple sauce in this household. I served this tofu dish with a bowl of white rice, sautéed zucchini and chopped peanuts on top for extra crunch. Perfection!

Soy Sauce Peanut Butter Tofu

Ingredients

Serving size: 2

• 8 oz extra firm tofu
• 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter creamy reduced fat
• 3 garlic cloves; peeled & minced
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• Salt and pepper
• 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
• Chopped Peanuts for topping

Instructions  

• Remove 8oz extra firm tofu from its packaging. Use paper towels or a clean dishcloth and wrap it around the tofu. Put something on top (A bowl or plate) to “press” or absorb the moisture while you prep the sauce.
• In a small bowl add 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 2 Tbsp reduced fat peanut butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sesame oil and mix. Set aside
• Cut the tofu into cubes(about .75 inch cubes). Add 1/2 cup cornstarch onto a plate. Place the tofu cubes on the plate and gently mix until all sides are coated with cornstarch (do in batches if needed).
• Drizzle in the cooking oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Once hot, cook the tofu about 8-10 minutes, flipping the tofu often getting every side lightly fried. Transfer to a plate, season the tofu with a pinch of salt and pepper
• In the same pan, pour in the sauce and cook about 1 minute; mixing often. Turn off the heat and add the tofu back to the pan. Gently mix until coated. Enjoy with rice, noodles, in a wrap or salad and more!
