THAI TOFU BURRITOS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
This recipe was inspired by a tofu burrito that I tried at a local restaurant. It is the perfect combination of flavors: salty, sweet, and a little bit of spice. The peanut sauce is very close to Molly Katz's recipe. They are yummy!

Steps:
- either blending in a blender or whisking in a bowl ( if whisking, add the peanut butter last, adding a little at a time to incorporate).
- Blot the tofu gently, and cut into 6 slices (see photo), then cut each slice into two, to make 12 strips. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush all sides liberally with the peanut sauce, spooning a little extra over the tops. Bake 25-30 minutes. Save the remaining sauce for the burritos.
- The fastest way to make rice is using the pasta method. Boil 1/2 cup rice in 4-5 cups salted water, uncovered, drain when tender, using a strainer, letting stand in the strainer 5 mins. Fluff.
- cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce.
- , whisking in 2-4 tablespoons water with a fork to loosen them. Add a spoonful of garlic chili paste, Sambal Olek, or a squirt of sriracha to taste, to pep them up a bit. Keep them warm.
- Right before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. If you have a gas stove, use tongs, place directly on the gas grate, over medium flame, turning often with tongs. Otherwise, place in a single layer in the oven on the rack until soft and pliable. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Spoon some of the warm beans onto the tortilla creating a base, add rice, then tofu and veggies and herbs. Spoon some peanut sauce over top, and optional peanuts or peanut chili crunch, and wrap up tightly. ***I've found it easiest to eat with foil wrapped around the bottom half to keep these big boys all together.

Another wonderful vegetarian recipe from Mollie Katzen's cookbook "Vegetable Heaven." This is one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu, and you get the added benefits of vegetables and flavorful sauce. Keep in mind that the fresher and firmer the green beans, the better this will taste. Tastes best served with basmati or jasmine rice.

Steps:
- For the stir-fry:.
- Place the peanuts in a blender, and grind briefly until they form a coarse meal. Set aside.
- Heat a medium-sized heavy skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and the ginger and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the crushed peanuts and the lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the peanuts are lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- As the peanut mixture is cooking, heat a large, nonstick wok or deep skillet. Drizzle in a little oil. When it is very hot, add the tofu and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes to let the water evaporate, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with lemon juice, reduce the heat, and cook for a few minutes longer. Transfer the tofu to the pan containing the peanut mixture and set aside.
- Scrape out the wok or skillet if necessary, and return to the heat. Let it get very hot, then add the remaining scant tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans. (The pan should sizzle when they hit.) Stir-fry over high heat for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a small amount of red pepper flakes.
- Stir-fry just a few minutes longer, or until the beans are divinely tender-crisp (mostly crisp, but just tender enough). Add the peanut-tofu mixture and toss everything together. Serve right away, over rice.
- For the peanut sauce:.
- Combine peanut butter and water in a bowl; mash and mix until uniform. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until combined. Add a little more water it you prefer it thinner. Salt to taste. Serve warm or room temperature, drizzled over hot green beans.

Tips:
- Choose firm or extra firm tofu: This type of tofu holds its shape better when cooked and won't crumble as easily in the burrito.
- Press the tofu before cooking: This helps remove excess water from the tofu, resulting in a firmer texture and better flavor absorption.
- Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu in a flavorful sauce or mixture before cooking adds extra flavor and helps keep it moist.
- Cook the tofu until crispy: Pan-frying or baking the tofu until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside creates a delicious contrast of textures.
- Use fresh, flavorful vegetables: The vegetables in the burrito provide a variety of textures and flavors, so choose fresh, crisp veggies that are at their peak.
- Make your own peanut sauce: The peanut sauce is a key component of these burritos, and it's easy to make at home with a few simple ingredients.
- Assemble the burritos carefully: Once you've cooked the tofu and vegetables and made the peanut sauce, it's time to assemble the burritos. Be sure to layer the ingredients evenly and tightly so that they don't fall apart when you eat them.
Conclusion:
Thai tofu burritos with peanut sauce are a delicious and satisfying meal that are perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. They're packed with flavor and nutrition, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these burritos a try. You won't be disappointed!
