Deep Fried Tofu with Peanut Sauce, Do you want to know a secret? This is my favorite thing to eat when I’m alone in the house (rare) in front of the TV watching soap operas , I made this in an attempt to recreate a dish I had at a thai restaurant many years ago As such I made a few changes: I dusted the tofu with cornstarch to give it more of a crust, and then added it to some stir fried spinach and served with the peanut sauce The only change I made to the peanut sauce is used light peanut butter instead of the peanuts I was very pleased with the results and have lots of sauce left over (I knew it was going to be good so I doubled the recipe) and am going to serve the remaining sauce with the satay skewers! Neither my husband nor I are big tofu eaters, but this was very, very good Thanks Mirj, for another great recipe , I made this in an attempt to recreate a dish I had at a thai restaurant many years ago As such I made a few changes: I dusted the tofu with cornstarch to give it more of a crust, and then added it to some stir fried spinach and served with the peanut sauce The only change I made to the peanut sauce is used light peanut butter instead of the peanuts I was very pleased with the results and have lots of sauce left over (I knew it was going to be good so I doubled the recipe) and am going to serve the remaining sauce with the satay skewers!
