Ingredients
-
200 g firm tofu
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
salt and pepper, to taste
-
oil, for frying
-
-
1 tablespoon peanut butter (i used crunchy)
-
3 tablespoons soymilk or 3 tablespoons coconut milk (will do)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon soy sauce or 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
-
1 tablespoon chili sauce or 1 tablespoon ketchup
-
1 dash chili flakes
Instructions
- Drain tofu (i pressed gently between paper towels).
- Cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss with cornstarch, coating the cubes.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
- Heat some oil (about 3-4 tablespoon, just ensure pan is coated).
- Fry the tofu cubes in batches, making sure all sides are lightly browned.
- Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
- Sauce: Heat the milk in small saucepan (you can make sauce in microwave too).
- Add peanut butter, stirring well.
- Add other seasonings, according to personal taste (I love spicy food, so i added LOTS of chilli flakes!). If you use coconut milk, add 1/2 - 1 tsp of lime juice too - it will be great!
- Serve hot, as a snack or appetizer. Sometimes i serve them with a sweet Chinese dessert: Green Bean Soup.
