How to make Tofu Peanut Stir Fry Recipe
To begin making Tofu Peanut Stir Fry Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep aside.
Prepare the sauce so that the flavors have time to blend. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce,sesame oil, brown sugar,peanut butter, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved, then set the sauce aside.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes, then season with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornstarch over the cubes, then toss to coat. Repeat with the second tablespoon of cornstarch, or until the tofu cubes have a nice even coating of cornstarch.
Heat a large skillet over medium flame. Once hot, add oil and tilt the skillet until the bottom is coated in a thick layer of oil. Add the flour dusted tofu cubes and let cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, then remove the crispy tofu to a clean plate.
In the same skillet add mushrooms and bok choy and stir fry for a minute till all the water is evaporated from the vegetables, season with salt and keep it aside in a bowl.
Next give the bowl of sauce a good stir, then pour it into the skillet.
Stir and cook until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken (this should happen very quickly).
Once thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the cooked tofu cubes and coat each tofu nicely with the sauce.Stir in the mixed vegetables. Add the crushed roasted peanuts.
