TOFU AND KALE WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Tofu and Kale With Peanut Sauce image

Simple, nutritious and tasty. You can use whatever greens are available: Swiss chard, beet greens, turnip greens, etc. Natural peanut butter (without hydrogenated oils) is better (for everything, not just this recipe). If you don't have a jalapeno, or don't like them, you can add some cayenne or some Tabasco sauce to the peanut sauce instead. Frying in peanut oil is key; because of its high smoke point, you can get it screaming hot, which is what is needed to get the tofu nice and crisp.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better and will absorb the marinade more easily.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help remove excess water and make the tofu more crispy.
  • Coat the tofu in cornstarch before frying. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tofu. This will prevent the tofu from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the tofu until it is golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the tofu is cooked through.
  • Serve the tofu with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Mustard crusted tofu with kale and sweet potato is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the kale and sweet potato add a pop of color and flavor.
