Peanut Tofu

While Aaron is not a vegan he is mostly vegetarian and he takes tofu in his lunch every day to work (he used to take animals). He was on a business trip this weekend so I prepared his tofu for the week and had to refrain from eating it all myself. Peanut butter makes everything better and this tofu is no exception. So eat up!

Peanut Tofu (makes 4-5 servings)

1 package extra firm tofu
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 Tbls. brown miso
2 Tbls. Bragg's liquid aminos (or soy sauce, or tamari)
2 Tbls. mirin
2 Tbls. rice vinegar
1 Tbls. brown sugar
1 Tbls. shredded coconut
2 Tbls. peanut oil
Siracha (optional)

Start by pressing the tofu. Make the sauce by melting the peanut butter and then whisking in everything else, except the peanut oil.

When the tofu is almost done pressing heat the oil in a large pan. Chop the tofu and sauté until it is as crispy as you like it.

In the last few minutes of cooking, add the sauce. Add some veggies and rice for a complete meal. Yummy!
