Tofu and Peppers with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Our spicy peanut sauce is inspired by the one used in satay, a common Indonesian dish. The sauce is a perfect accompaniment to the mild-flavored tofu.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 packages (14 ounces each) firm or extra-firm tofu, drained well
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 medium red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Asian-style chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
4 sprigs cilantro, for garnish (optional)

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.

I thought this dish was just okay. The peanut sauce was a bit bland and the tofu was a little dry. I would probably not make this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were well-balanced and the tofu was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.
