Peanut Butter Glazed Tofu

Peanut butter isn't just for bread! Its fat content makes a perfect marinade base that clings to tofu during cooking, creating a caramelized, nutty crust. Lime and ginger ensure it's not too heavy.

Instructions

1

Press the tofu and cut into cubes.

Tip: Repetition is the mother of learning: wet tofu won't brown!
2

Mix marinade ingredients (peanut butter, soy, ginger, lime, honey, oil). If too thick, thin with a splash of water.

Tip: Marinade should be a thick cream to stick to the tofu.
3

Toss tofu in marinade, let sit for 20 minutes.

Tip: Porous tofu absorbs the flavors.
4

Pan-fry over medium heat until golden. Careful, peanut butter and honey burn fast!

Tip: Flip frequently.
5

Serve topped with chopped peanuts.
