Tofu with Peanut-Ginger sauce

Submitted by: BIPOLARPRINCESS


Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    5 tablespoons water
    2 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
    2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
    2 teaspoons honey
    2 teaspoons minced ginger
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    14 ounces extra-firm tofu, preferably water-packed
    2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    4 cups baby spinach
    4 scallions, sliced

Directions

To prepare sauce: Whisk water, peanut butter, rice vinegar (or white vinegar), soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic in a small bowl.

To prepare tofu: Drain and rinse tofu; pat dry. Slice the block crosswise into eight 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Coarsely crumble each slice into smaller, uneven pieces.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tofu and cook in a single layer, without stirring, until the pieces begin to turn golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Then gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes more.

Add spinach, scallions and the peanut sauce and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  • This was great. I had trouble at first keeping the peanut butter from separating in the sauce, but after I put it in the microwave for ~30 seconds, I didn't have any more trouble. - 8/3/12

  • Not bad. I didn't realize how low I was on ginger (didn't have any fresh so used ground). Easy to make. Another mistake i made was trying to marinate the tofu in the sauce first. I am sooo new to tofu so still trying to get it right so thanks for the recipe! - 11/6/11

  • This recipe was easy and impressive! I made a separate portion for my husband (who thought he didn't like tofu) with shrimp, but he ended up loving the tofu too! This dish could be on the menu at a restaurant. I will definitely make again. Thank you! - 1/18/11
