Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Tofu Stir-Fry with Creamy Peanut Sauce.
Step 1
Start by creating a delicious peanut sauce that will elevate your dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, zesty lime juice, Sriracha sauce for a kick, and a sprinkle of ground chili pepper.
Step 3
Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and well blended—this sauce is the heart of your stir-fry! Next, heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Toss in diced carrots and vibrant red bell pepper, sautéing them for about 1 to 2 minutes until they start to soften and release their sweet aroma.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add the star of the show: cubed tofu.
Step 6
Gently place it in the skillet and sauté for around 4 minutes on each side, or until it turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
To infuse even more flavor, stir in minced garlic and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until your kitchen is filled with their delightful fragrance.
Step 8
Pour that luscious peanut sauce into the skillet, making sure to coat the tofu and veggies evenly.
Step 9
Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing all those wonderful flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 10
As the final touch, reduce the heat to low and gradually add in baby spinach, stirring in one cup at a time until it wilts down to a vibrant green.
Step 11
Serve your colorful stir-fry over a warm bed of cooked brown rice, and enjoy a meal that’s not only satisfying but also bursting with flavor!.
