How to cook:

**Combine all peanut sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender, and blend until the peanut sauce is smooth, cohesive and creamy, about 30 seconds
Can easily be made a few days ahead and stored in the fridge.In a large skillet or wok, warm the oil over medium-high heat
Add the tofu, and let it fry for a few minutes on each side, about 10-12 minutes total
When the tofu has gotten crispy remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel lined plate
In the same skillet add the cabbage and broccoli, and sauté until the vegetables are soft and tender, about 8 minutes
Turn the heat down to medium, return tofu to the skillet and add the peanut sauce
Toss to coat and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes
Serve over steamed brown rice, noodles, or simply as-is.Note: This is a savory peanut sauce, unlike the sweet peanut sauce you might be used to
It may seem very salty on it's own, but when mixed with the unseasoned veggies and tofu, it is mellow and delicious! If you'd like it to be a touch sweet, you can add 1 teaspoon of honey

Nutrition:

How to cook:

Preparation:
Get ready
Get all ingredients ready and in one place. Thaw the frozen veggies (with a microwave or by taking them out of the freezer early enough).
Chop the snow peas, baby corn and onion. Dice the garlic and ginger.
Cook the noodles so you have them at hand when the stir-fry comes together. When ready, drain and rinse under cold water (they’ll stick together less).
For the sauce:
Mix
Grab a large bowl and chuck in the peanut butter, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, water, syrup. Mix well with a spoon ‘til it’s a nice and creamy sauce. Optionally, throw in the lemon grass.
Now you’re ready to wok and roll:
Heat
In a wok or large pan heat the oil until it starts smoking.
Add the garlic, ginger, onion, sugar snaps and baby corn.
Add
Around 40 seconds later add the thawed veggies. (If you just use fresh veg, throw in everything at once).
Stir it well for about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat a little and add the sauce and noodles. It’ll quickly begin to boil.
Add
Make sure it’s all nice and creamy. Add a little more water, if not!
Add some peanuts.
Simmer
Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
Fish out the lemon grass before serving (it’s only for the flavour, not for eating!!)
Eat
Done!

The Best Damn Peanut Stir Fry

Whipping up the perfect peanut sauce is my favorite way to glow up end-of-the-week vegetables with a fabulously simple stir fry. Start with soy sauce for saltiness, peanut butter for creaminess and water to thin it out. Then add rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger for tang and brown sugar to balance the flavors. Sriracha adds heat while toasted sesame oil rounds things out with a silky mouthfeel and deep nutty flavor.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Yields: 2 servings
Cuisine: Asian
Number of ingredients: 23

Ingredients:

10 ounces of firm tofu
2 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of corn starch (potato starch would also work)
1 tablespoon of grapeseed or other mild oil (divided)
1 cup of chopped cauliflower
4-5 cloves of garlic
1 white onion, chopped
1 cup of chopped asparagus
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari
3 tablespoons of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of warm water
3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 cloves of garlic minced
4 teaspoons of minced ginger
2 teaspoons of cornstarch (or potato starch)
2 teaspoons of Sriracha (and more for garnish)
4 cups of cooked brown rice (see Fresh Tips!)
2 stalks of green onion, diced
2 tablespoons of peanuts, chopped

How to cook:

Wrap the tofu in a towel and gently squeeze out the water. Dice into 1-inch cubes. Put the cubes in a container with a lid. Drizzle the soy sauce over the tofu, then cover and shake until well coated. Add the garlic powder and starch, then cover and shake again.
Put a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Pour in 2 teaspoons of oil. Cook the tofu until browned on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the tofu when it’s done and place the pan back over the heat.
Add the cauliflower to the pan, along with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. While it cooks, mince the garlic. Add the white onion to the pan. Stir and cook until the onion is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the asparagus, bell pepper, and garlic to the pan. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender with a bit of crunch, about 5 to 7 more minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk the soy sauce, peanut butter, water, sesame oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, starch, and Sriracha together in a bowl.
When the veggies are tender with a bit of crunch, add the tofu back to the pan, and turn off the heat. Add the sauce and mix well to combine. Serve over warm brown rice with green onion, chopped peanuts, and a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired.
