Tofu with Peanut Sauce

Step 1

Start by making rice according to package instructions. Note, cooking times will change depending on the type of rice. While rice cooks, prepare everything else.

Step 2

In a small blender combine all the ingredients for the Peanut Ginger Sauce. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cube tofu into ½" inch pieces. Once the oil is hot (it should sizzle when tofu hits the pan) add tofu and salt. Pan-fry for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until tofu is golden brown on all sides.

Step 4

Add ½ of the peanut sauce to the tofu and stir until tofu is completely coated. Some of the sauce may stick to the pan; that's okay. Once the tofu has caramelized on the edges, another 5 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining oil to a separate pan. Sauté the broccolini (or vegetable of choice) for 5 minutes until the broccolini has wilted and is tender.

Step 6

To serve, spoon rice in the bottoms of each bowl. Evenly divide the tofu and broccolini and top with extra sauce and topping of choice. Serve immediately.
