Ingredients

Servings

For the crispy tofu

  • 350 grams tofu cut into half-inch cubes (use GMO free if possible, extra firm, 12 ounce block
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari for gluten-free, low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the peanut sauce

  • cup peanut butter the natural kind without added oil or sugar, smooth
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice approx. 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari for gluten-free
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tablespoon ginger fresh grated
  • 1-2 tablespoons water to thin, filtered

For serving (optional)

  • brown rice
  • noodles
  • quinoa
  • purple cabbage shredded purple cabbage; strips red bell pepper; halved grape tomatoes; sliced cucumber
  • carrot
  • red bell pepper
  • grape tomato
  • cucumber
  • avocado
  • green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the tofu cubes in a medium bowl and add the soy sauce. Gently mix to coat the pieces. Then add the arrowroot and spices and stir until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the seasoned cubes in a single layer on your parchment-lined tray. Then bake for 15 minutes, flip the cubes, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until desired crispiness is reached.
  4. While the tofu is baking, add all the peanut sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix until combined, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin to your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve with fresh veggies of your choice, grain of choice, and drizzle each bowl with the peanut sauce, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Notes

  •  
  • Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days.
  • No need to press the tofu if you're using extra firm for this one. I've tried it both ways, and the difference was very minimal. That said, you may press it first if you'd like.
  • Do your best to cut the tofu cubes the same size for even cooking.
  • Make sure to arrange the cubes in a single layer with plenty of space in between so they crisp up nicely.
