Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm tofu (14 oz)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups mixed fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce and sriracha before gently tossing in the tofu cubes to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated tofu cubes until golden brown (about 10-12 minutes).
- In another bowl, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, sriracha, and water until smooth; adjust thickness as needed.
- Add your mixed vegetables to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking tofu; sauté until tender yet crisp.
- To serve, layer rice or quinoa in bowls, top with crispy tofu and sautéed vegetables, drizzle with peanut sauce, and garnish with cilantro.
