Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice each tofu cake crosswise into 6 rectangles.
- In a shallow container, whisk together 1 tablespoon each oil and soy sauce. Dip tofu pieces lightly on all sides to coat. Brush two rimmed baking sheets with remaining tablespoon oil; divide tofu between them. Scatter peppers around the edges.
- Bake 10 minutes; turn tofu and peppers. Continue baking until tofu is golden brown and peppers begin to char, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, chili sauce, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons water, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, until warm. Drizzle sauce over tofu and peppers. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Steps:
- Slice the tofu into ten slices, width-wise. Cut each slice in half so that you have 20 squares of tofu. To remove excess moisture, pat each side lightly with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
- In a large saucepan, heat peanut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Saute until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Add the tofu to the pan in a single layer; depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches. Cook each side for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, making the spicy peanut sauce by mixing together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, and sriracha. It should be smooth and creamy, like a thick sauce.
- Use a basting or pastry brush to brush the peanut sauce lightly onto the exposed side of the tofu. Flip over, cooking another 1-2 minutes, until browned. Repeat with the other side of the tofu.
- Remove the tofu from the pan once browned on both sides. Enjoy with additional spicy peanut sauce, rice, and veggies.

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

BAKED TOFU IN THAI PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- First, press your tofu .
- Once your tofu is well-pressed, cut it into your desired shapes. Thin slabs, triangles or even small bite-sized shapes will work.
- Once your tofu is ready to go, pre-heat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil if you can since baked tofu sometimes gets a bit sticky, and the foil makes clean up super easy.
- Next, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the peanut butter (melt it slightly in the microwave for just a few seconds to make this easier) with the ginger, lime juice or orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, and sweet chili sauce. Before you bake your tofu, give the sauce a quick taste. It should be delicious. If not, adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Coat the tofu with the peanut sauce on all sides. You can transfer the sauce to a wide shallow bowl or dish and dip it in, or use a pastry brush to coat each piece by hand if you're working with larger pieces of tofu. We like to dip it, then brush on extra sauce.
- Bake the tofu in the oven for about 15 to 17 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. Turn pieces over, and bake another 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: The sauce on the aluminum foil will burn a bit, don't worry. You just don't want to see the coated tofu burn.)
- Serve and enjoy!

SPICY PEANUT TOFU STIR FRY - LITTLE SPICE JAR
From littlespicejar.com
4.8/5 (36)Category DinnerServings 4Total Time 40 mins
- TOFU: Place a folded tea towel in the shape of the tofu on a plate. Place tofu in the prepared plate. Place another tea towel on top (in the shape of the tofu) followed by another plate and 2-28 ounce cans or anything that weight 2-3 pounds to help remove the water from the tofu. Or you can simply use a tofu press and tighten the wheels to help squeeze out the water over a plate. Let the tofu dry for at least 15-20 minutes and ideally, I like to let it go for an hour. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1-inch cubes. Place the cornstarch, salt, and if desired, a pinch of chili powder into a zip top bag. Add the tofu, zip the bag and give it a toss so the tofu is coated with the cornstarch.
- SAUCE: While the tofu is drying, prepare the sauce. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or in a medium mason jar (with a lid). I prepared it in a jar and gave it a few good shakes until the ingredients mixed through. Set aside.
- STIR FRY: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and let fry for 3 minutes. Flipping the tofu as needed to ensure even browning on all sides. Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is caramelized, remove to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoons of oil to the pan, turn the stove to high heat and add the shiitake mushrooms and onions to the pan. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or to desired doneness. Add the tofu back into the skillet, turn the stove off. Drizzle in the peanut sauce and toss to coat. Remove stir fry to a serving dish.
- SERVE: Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or on it's own. Top with crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes and lime wedges. Serve with grilled bok choy is desired. The tofu will lose a bit of the crispness as it sits. But the flavors intensify and the stir fry tastes even better the next day!

- Prepare tofu: Drain tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes. In a very large skillet heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil.

- Prepare vegetables: In the same skillet heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, sweet peppers and red onion; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add bok choy; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the browned tofu and peanut sauce; stir gently to coat and heat through. Divide the tofu mixture among four serving plates.

- For the tofu: once the tofu is pressed, cut the block into 8 long sticks. Or for an appetizer, you can cut the sticks in half to make 16 small sticks. Add the soy sauce, water, agave, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to a sealable bag or dish and mix. Add the tofu to the mixture and let marinate covered in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
- For the spicy peanut sauce: mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. This can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
- To grill the tofu: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using so they don't burn. Thread the tofu onto the skewers lengthwise. Heat your BBQ or grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, grill the skewers for 10 - 15 minutes, turning as needed until grill marks form on each side, brushing with the leftover marinade as they cook. Remove from the heat and serve hot with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Decorate with any garnishes you like.

- To begin, prep all stir fry ingredients by briefly pressing and cubing the tofu, mincing the chilis, ginger, and garlic, and julienning the carrots and bell peppers. Also, slice the green onions, chop the peanuts, and wash the bean sprouts.
- In a large pot, bring enough water to cook the noodles to a boil. Once boiling, turn the burner off and add in rice noodles. Stir and cover, cooking for approximately 5-6 minutes, or until al dente.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add tofu cubes and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally to brown on all sides (use an oil guard, as the sesame oil can splatter). Next, add in minced Thai chilis, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add cooked veggies and noodles back to the pot with the tofu. Mix in peanut sauce, bean sprouts, green onions, and chopped peanuts and cook over medium heat (tongs are great for this). Toss together for about 2-3 minutes, or until sauce is incorporated and everything is heated through.
