Units Scale
  • 1-3 tbsp oil
  • 394g tofu block
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce

Instructions

  1. Tofu: Grab your block of tofu, drain the water and press for at least 30 minutes. Cut tofu into small cubes and toss with the cornstarch. Heat pan with oil, then add in the tofu cubes and shallow fry for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Add in the peanuts, and cook for 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring.
  2. Peanut sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients. Pour half of the mixture into the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes on high or until it clings onto the tofu.
  3. Assembly: Layer two lettuce leaves, then add carrot slices, red pepper slices, peanut tofu, and fresh coriander. Drizzle with a little more of that sauce and enjoy!
