- 400g firm tofu, pressed and cubed,
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce,
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil,
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced,
- 100g green beans, trimmed,
- 3 cloves garlic, minced,
- 2 tablespoons ginger, minced,
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter,
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup,
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste),
- Juice of 1 lime,
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, for garnish,
- Spring onions, chopped for garnish,
- Cooked rice, to serve
Press and cube the tofu, then marinate it in soy sauce for at least 15 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and green beans. Stir fry until veggies are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the tofu and cook until slightly golden.
Whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, sriracha sauce, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth. If it’s too thick, you can thin it with a bit of water or soy sauce.
Pour the peanut sauce over the stir-fried tofu and veggies, mixing well to coat everything evenly. Allow to cook together for an additional 2 minutes. Serve over rice, garnished with spring onions and roasted peanuts.
