10-Minute Spicy Peanut Tofu Bowls Recipe
These spicy peanut tofu bowls feature crispy, golden tofu cubes tossed in a creamy, zesty peanut sauce, accompanied by fresh vegetables. The taste is a delightful balance of heat and creaminess, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the tofu and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until they’re tender-crisp.
- Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the peanut sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture. Toss to coat everything evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the spicy peanut tofu bowls over a bed of rice or quinoa. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
