Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz. block of extra firm tofu
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil for marinade + 1 tbsp. for sauteing
  • 3 tbsp. peanut butter both crunchy and creamy will work
  • 2 tbsp. agave or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. sriracha
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1/2 inch of fresh ginger peeled and minced

Instructions
 

  • Take tofu out of package and press it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Chop tofu into small cubes.
  • Put tofu in the oven for 20 minutes (this will dry out the tofu, allowing it to better absorb the marinade).
  • While the tofu is cooking, make marinade by combining all ingredients (listed under tofu) in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk well.
  • Once the tofu is done cooking, take out of the oven and put into the mixing bowl with the marinade.
  • Mix well so that all of the pieces of tofu are covered with the marinade.
  • Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Put olive oil for sauteing in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Remove the tofu from the marinade and add to the pan.
  • Sauté the tofu until golden brown on all sides.
  • Heat the remaining sauce and serve the tofu topped with heated sauce. We love to pair our tofu with coconut rice & veggies.
