Ingredients
Directions
- Wrap tofu in a clean, absorbent towel and set something heavy on top (such as a cast iron skillet) to press out the liquid. Leave for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200 C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the oven is preheated, dice tofu into 1/4-inch cubes and arrange on baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
- While the tofu bakes prepare your rice. When it is finished cooking, drain, then return to pot. Cover with a lid and let steam.
- While rice and tofu are cooking, prepare sauce by adding tamari, peanut butter, and garlic.
- Once the tofu is done baking, add directly to the sauce and marinate for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Heat a large metal or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, use a slotted spoon to scoop the tofu into the pan leaving most of the sauce behind. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown on all sides (see photo). Lower heat if browning too quickly. Remove from pan and set aside.
- To the still hot pan add garlic, green onion, peas and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, and season with tamari sauce.
- Add cooked rice, tofu, and remaining sauce and stir. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
