Steps:
- Slice the tofu into ten slices, width-wise. Cut each slice in half so that you have 20 squares of tofu. To remove excess moisture, pat each side lightly with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
- In a large saucepan, heat peanut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Saute until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Add the tofu to the pan in a single layer; depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches. Cook each side for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, making the spicy peanut sauce by mixing together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, and sriracha. It should be smooth and creamy, like a thick sauce.
- Use a basting or pastry brush to brush the peanut sauce lightly onto the exposed side of the tofu. Flip over, cooking another 1-2 minutes, until browned. Repeat with the other side of the tofu.
- Remove the tofu from the pan once browned on both sides. Enjoy with additional spicy peanut sauce, rice, and veggies.

This recipe and the others that follow it this week make enough sauce or marinade for a pound of tofu.Spread this sweet and pungent peanut sauce on seared, grilled or uncooked tofu. It also makes a nice dipping sauce for crudités or spring rolls.

A tasty snack or appetizer. Tofu cubes are very crispy outside, yet warm and soft inside. Sort of like Asian "french fries". And i simple love the sauce, even used it as salad dressing sometimes!

Steps:
- Drain tofu (i pressed gently between paper towels).
- Cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss with cornstarch, coating the cubes.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
- Heat some oil (about 3-4 tablespoon, just ensure pan is coated).

- Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
- Sauce: Heat the milk in small saucepan (you can make sauce in microwave too).
- Add peanut butter, stirring well.
- Add other seasonings, according to personal taste (I love spicy food, so i added LOTS of chilli flakes!). If you use coconut milk, add 1/2 - 1 tsp of lime juice too - it will be great!
- Serve hot, as a snack or appetizer. Sometimes i serve them with a sweet Chinese dessert: Green Bean Soup.

CRISPY TOFU WITH CASHEWS AND BLISTERED SNAP PEAS
A ginger and coconut milk reduction can coat pretty much anything that browns nicely on its own. Here, it's pieces of pan-seared tofu, but small morsels of chicken and pork will work just as well. The soy and the teaspoons of molasses give the sauce a little caramelization, and a little shine and gloss. For a fresh side, add some blistered snap peas, tossed with sliced scallions, a little mint and a splash of rice vinegar. Snow peas, green beans, broccoli or asparagus? If it's fresh and green, it'll work just fine.

Steps:
- Slice the tofu in half horizontally, and leave on paper towels to dry any excess liquid.
- In a medium skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Season both sides of the tofu with salt and black pepper, place in the pan and sear without moving until tofu is browned and golden on both sides, turning once halfway through, about 8 minutes total. Move the tofu to a plate.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, and add the snap peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until blistered and just tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and move to a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, add the ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce and molasses. Simmer, stirring frequently until the sauce reduces and its color deepens to a dark brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. It should coat a spoon without running right off. Stir in the cashews, break the tofu into 1-inch pieces and toss in the pan to coat with sauce. Remove from heat, and taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- Toss the snap peas with the rice vinegar, scallions, mint and red-pepper flakes, if using. Divide among plates, along with the tofu and cashews. Serve with rice or any steamed grain.
BAKED TOFU IN THAI PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- First, press your tofu .
- Once your tofu is well-pressed, cut it into your desired shapes. Thin slabs, triangles or even small bite-sized shapes will work.
- Once your tofu is ready to go, pre-heat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil if you can since baked tofu sometimes gets a bit sticky, and the foil makes clean up super easy.
- Next, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the peanut butter (melt it slightly in the microwave for just a few seconds to make this easier) with the ginger, lime juice or orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, and sweet chili sauce. Before you bake your tofu, give the sauce a quick taste. It should be delicious. If not, adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Coat the tofu with the peanut sauce on all sides. You can transfer the sauce to a wide shallow bowl or dish and dip it in, or use a pastry brush to coat each piece by hand if you're working with larger pieces of tofu. We like to dip it, then brush on extra sauce.
- Bake the tofu in the oven for about 15 to 17 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. Turn pieces over, and bake another 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: The sauce on the aluminum foil will burn a bit, don't worry. You just don't want to see the coated tofu burn.)
- Serve and enjoy!

- Preheat the oven to 400°. Press the tofu following the directions above while the oven preheats. Then cube the tofu into 1 inch pieces and spread out evenly across some parchment paper or a silpat on a baking sheet. Make sure the tofu isn’t overlapping so that each piece will bake evenly. Cook for 15-20 minutes until beginning to look crispy. After 20 minutes, take the sheet pan out. The tofu should show light signs of crispiness on its edges. Flip each piece of tofu over so that the side facing down is now facing up. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
- After putting the tofu back in the oven, start to make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes (or Sriracha), salt, and pepper. In another small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water. Once the cornstarch is dissolved, add it to the sauce.
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat with the oil. Add the garlic and ginger and saute quickly, about 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Lower the heat to a medium-low and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir everything together.
- Keep on a medium-low heat, occasionally stirring and allow sauce to thicken to the desired consistency, about 10-15 minutes.

- Prepare Tofu: Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a pan and lightly sear your tofu on all sides to create a crispy crust. You may need to do this in batches if your pan is not big enough, otherwise your tofu may end up stewing instead of searing.
- Prepare Orange Sauce: In a bowl, combine all ingredients for orange sauce and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sautee garlic, onion and chilli for a minute or two. Pour in prepared sauce mixture and stir well. Once sauce simmers and thickens, add tofu in and coat pieces in the orange sauce.
