Salt,

Start by preparing the peanut sauce.  Add all peanut sauce ingredients to a medium sized bowl and mix until everything is combined.  Add water one tablespoon at a time and mix well in between each addition.  You want the consistency to be thick enough to coat the tofu but thinner than peanut butter.  I recommend giving the sauce a taste and adjusting ingredients as needed.

Press your tofu if needed and then dice it into bite size pieces.  To a medium sized bowl, add the toasted sesame oil and tamari and whisk together.  Add the tofu to the bowl and mix until it&#8217;s completely coated.  Then, add in the corn starch and mix again until you can&#8217;t see the cornstarch anymore.

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a couple teaspoons of olive oil.  Pour the tofu in and cook until tofu is browned and crispy on all sides, 7-10 minutes.

Once tofu is finished cooking, turn the heat off and pour the peanut sauce over the tofu.  Mix until tofu is completely coated and serve over rice with a side of broccoli, if desired.  Enjoy!
