Soy Peanut Butter Recipes

PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• With motor running, drop ginger and garlic clove into a blender and blend until finely chopped. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and 1/3 cup water and blend, adding more water by tablespoonfuls if needed to thin, until smooth. DO AHEAD: Peanut sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

THAI PEANUT STIR FRY SAUCE

4-INGREDIENT HOMEMADE SOY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Place soybeans in a colander and rinse them under cold water. Transfer the rinsed soybeans onto paper towel and pat dry briefly.
• Place the soybeans onto a baking sheet. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and mix with soybeans. Let the soybeans get coated evenly. Roast in oven on the middle rack for 20 minutes until the soybeans are golden brown.
• Remove the baking sheet from oven and let the soybeans cool at room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Food Processor Method: Transfer the roasted soybeans into a food processor and briefly chop them to break the soybeans into smaller pieces. Transfer the soybeans into a container and add water. Let it stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Transfer the mixture back into the food processor and add the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
• High-Speed Blender Method: transfer the roasted soybeans and the remaining ingredients into the blender. Blend until smooth.

PEANUT-SOY DRESSING

Steps:

• In a bowl, add the peanut butter. Take the sheet of nori and crush in your hand over the bowl. The key is that some of the Nori has been powdered and some is still flaked. The amount of Nori you use is up to you. I used probably 2-3 Tbs. of crushed Nori in the dressing.
• Add the soy sauce and blend until everything is emulsified.
• Add a pinch of sugar and a bit of oil. Pour in a teaspoon or so of water while stirring. The goal is that it is the consistency of yogurt.
• Enjoy!

BAKED CRISPY PEANUT TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Start pressing tofu using a tofu press, or wrap in clean, absorbent towel and set something heavy - like a cast iron skillet or books - on top to press out the moisture. Press for about 15-20 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, tamari, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and sesame oil in a small mixing bowl and whisking thoroughly to combine. Set aside.
• Cut pressed tofu into 3/4-inch cubes and add to a large plate. Top with tamari or soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Gently toss to combine using hands or a spoon. Let marinate 2-3 minutes, stirring/tossing occasionally.
• Use a slotted spoon or your hands to transfer tofu to a quart-size or large freezer bag. Add cornstarch 1 Tbsp at a time and toss to coat. Continue adding more cornstarch and tossing until tofu is coated in a gummy, white layer (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
• Transfer tofu to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping at the 18-minute mark to encourage even baking. It should be firm to the touch, firm on the edges, and slightly browned on the exterior once removed from the oven. Bake slightly longer if needed.
• Heat a large metal or cast iron skillet (12 inch) over medium heat. Once hot, add tofu and the peanut sauce. Toss to coat. Stirring frequently, sauté the tofu for about 2 minutes, or until the tofu is hot and well coated with peanut sauce.
• At this point it's ready to eat! Enjoy as is or with any Asian-inspired dish. We love it with our Mango Curry, Noodle-Free Pad Thai, or these Thai Noodle Bowls!

5-INGREDIENT PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To a medium mixing bowl add (starting with the amount at the lower end of the measurement range where applicable) peanut butter, tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos), maple syrup, lime juice, chili sauce (or chili or red pepper), and whisk to combine. Add water a little at a time until a thick but pourable sauce is achieved.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce (or red chili or red pepper) for heat, lime juice for acidity, or tamari for saltiness. If your sauce has become too thin, add more nut butter. If it's too thick, thin with more water. For a fun flavor twist, add some fresh grated ginger to taste.
• Perfect for salads, spring rolls, noodle dishes, and more! Pairings linked above. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
