🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 4 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Drain the tofu and press it for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

3. While the tofu cooks, prepare the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrot, and trim the snow peas. Mince the garlic cloves.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha, and water until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set the peanut sauce aside.

5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add the broccoli, carrot, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, then add the snow peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

7. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce.

8. Cook for another 2 minutes to warm through and allow the flavors to meld.

9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts.

10. Serve the Thai Fling over a bed of steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy!
