Crispy Pan-Seared Tofu with Creamy Peanut Sauce
Enjoy a vibrant twist on tofu that's both crispy and creamy. Extra firm tofu is lightly coated in a delicate cornstarch layer and pan-seared to perfection, then drizzled with a rich, velvety peanut sauce enhanced with a hint of ginger and garlic. Topped with a sprinkle of hemp seeds and scallions, this dish delivers satisfying crunch and a balance of savory, nutty flavors that brighten your meal.
INGREDIENTS
300g Extra Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Peanut Butter
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with water if needed.
Lightly coat the tofu cubes in cornstarch, ensuring an even layer for a crispy finish.
Heat sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and pan-sear until all sides are golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drizzle or toss the crispy tofu with the creamy peanut sauce in the pan, allowing it to warm together for an additional minute.
Plate the tofu, then sprinkle with hemp seeds and, if desired, garnish with chopped scallions for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced dish that pairs well with rice or a light salad.
