Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap the tofu in a tea towel and let it sit for a few minutes.
  2. Cube the tofu and place into a mixing bowl. Then add all the spices for the tofu and mix gently with a spoon.
  3. Place onto a baking pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Increase the temperature to 425 for the last 10 minutes to get it extra crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, in a blender add all the ingredients for the peanut sauce and pulse. If you want a smooth sauce blend for longer.
  5. Pour the sauce over the tofu and thank me later! Serve with some steamed rice and fresh or frozen veggies.

Notes

  • Refrigerator: Store leftover tofu and peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • Reheating: If you've stored your leftovers in the refrigerator, add a bit of water and then reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat them on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a bit more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the baked tofu and peanut sauce separately for up to 2 months. To reheat, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then warm the tofu in the oven or on the stovetop. The peanut sauce can be placed in the microwave, just add a little water to adjust the consistency.
