Instructions
Creating Crispy Peanut Tofu With Sugar Snap Peas And Peppers can be done by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes.
2. Coat the Tofu: In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Tofu: Add the tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sugar snap peas and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender yet still crunchy.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
7. Combine: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet. Pour the peanut sauce over the tofu and vegetables, coating everything well. Stir to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Add Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions before serving.
9. Taste and Adjust: Season with salt and pepper as needed.
