Thai Peanut Tofu
Just look at my tofu. Crunchy, nutty, cruelty-free squares of food-induced orgasm...
That's a glob of mayo on the side. VEGAN GARLIC MAYO. #EatKind |
After making Coconut and Berries (http://coconutandberries.com/) breadcrumb topped tofu slices, it got me thinking...what else can I rub tofu in to make it taste good.
Thai food encompasses some of my favourite flavours. So I came up with the the following:
Ingredients
1 block of extra firm tofu
Light soy sauce
Rice vinegar
Sesame Oil
Unsalted peanuts (red skins left on or not)
Unsalted almonds (see picture below for approx measurement of NUTS)
1 green chilli
Squeeze of Agave syrup
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Breadcrumbs
Sides ingredients (optional)
Broccoli
Bulgar Wheat
Basil
Coriander
Salt
Pepper
1. Slice tofu block. Make tofu slice no more than 2cm in height. THE WIDTH IS UP TO YOU.
2. Marinate tofu slices for 1hr+ in sesame oil, soy sauce and a little rice vinegar

3. Use pestle & mortar to grind up peanuts & almonds.
Those skins won't do no harm |
4. Mix ground nuts with agave syrup, a big spoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar & if needed, some breadcrumbs.
5. After placing your marinated tofu slices on a baking tray, smother them in your nutty mixture & bake for 20-25 minutes in oven at 180(°C).
6. Whilst the tofu is baking, simultaneously roast some olive oil rubbed broccoli florets for 20 minutes. If you fancy it, cook up the Bulgar Wheat and mix with chopped coriander, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. Have them as some fucking delicious sides to your fucking delicious tofu.
THEN SWALLOW THOSE NUTS WHOLE.
