Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Drain the firm tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, brown sugar, finely minced garlic, red chili flakes, and coconut milk to create the sauce.
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (leaving a small vent for steam) and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, stir the tofu, and microwave for an additional 2 minutes until the tofu is heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Garnish with finely chopped green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve over cooked jasmine rice for a complete and delicious meal.
