Ingredients

450 g Extra-firm Tofu

2 Tbsp Tamari

1 Tbsp Maple Syrup

1 Tbsp Sesame Oil

1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

2 Tbsp Cornstarch

400 g Jasmine Rice

1 (400 ml) Tin of Light Coconut Milk

1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced

1 Tbsp Sriracha

2 Tbsp Smooth Peanut Butter

1 Tbsp Lime Juice

1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 Bunch of Green Onions, chopped

Vegetable Oil for frying

Method

Press the tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

In a bowl, whisk together tamari, maple syrup, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add tofu cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.

Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions.

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.

Heat a pan with vegetable oil over medium heat. Remove tofu from marinade (reserve the marinade) and coat with cornstarch slurry. Fry tofu until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes per side.

For the sauce, add light coconut milk, reserved marinade, minced ginger, sriracha, peanut butter, and lime juice to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Serve crispy tofu over rice, topped with spicy peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes.
