Ingredients

2 servings

  • 200 g firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp starch (e.g. cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (vegan: maple syrup)
  • Water as needed
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method

  1. Remove tofu from packaging, drain well and gently press with kitchen paper to remove excess liquid.
  2. Cut tofu into even cubes. Toss in a bowl with starch, some salt and pepper until all cubes are lightly coated.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu over medium-high heat until crispy all around. Turn occasionally until all sides are golden brown.
  4. For the sauce, mix peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce and maple syrup in a small bowl. Gradually add water until a creamy, slightly runny consistency forms.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust with more lime juice or soy sauce if needed.
  6. Remove crispy tofu from the pan and briefly drain on kitchen paper.
  7. Serve tofu with the peanut lime sauce, e.g. on rice or in a bowl with vegetables.
