Stir-Fried Tofu with Peanut Sauce 

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water mixture. Set aside.

Step 3

Dry the tofu. You can wrap the tofu in towels and place a plate on top of it until excess liquid is absorbed by the towels. You can also opt to use a tofu press. Afterwards, slice them into 1" (2.5cm) cubes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the salt on the tofu cubes. Add the cornstarch. Coat the tofu well.

Step 5

In a large pan, heat around 1 1/2 tbsp of oil and then fry the tofu cubes until crisp and golden. You will need to turn around the tofu cubes to get each side crisp.

Step 6

Take out the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, sauté the onions and mushrooms in a little oil over medium high heat. Add in the sauce mixture. Add in the crispy tofu and cook it in the sauce sauce until it boils. Lower the heat.

Step 8

Give the cornstarch slurry a good mix since the starch tends to settled in the bottom. Pour in the cornstarch mixture while mixing. Mix until the sauce has thickened. Afterwards, turn off the heat.

Step 9

Serve the tofu and then drizzle with a little sesame oil and add some spring onions, if desired.

Step 10

Serve with a bowl of rice or noodles and enjoy while hot! I had mine with my super easy curry fried rice! Also, you can check out the video below to see 3 saucy tofu recipes. :)
