I just served this at my bf’s family Thanksgiving. Even his meat-loving uncle loved it! The kicker is the peanut sauce, which goes well with pretty much anything. Add it to a meal or serve as an appetizer.

Tofu
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 lb. Firm Tofu

Preheat oven to 450*, and spread a sheet of tin foil on a cookie sheet.

Combine soy sauce and veg oil. Cut tofu into 1/4 inch strips, then dip strips in mixture. Place on cookie sheet. Cook for 20 minutes until slightly brown on top.

Peanut Sauce
2 tbsp. smooth Peanut Butter
2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
1-2 cloves minced Garlic
1/4 cup Water
1 tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice

Combine ingredients in non-stick pan over medium heat, stirring until peanut butter is melted. Serve as a dipping sauce with tofu.

I'm so excited to try this--I've been looking for something just like this. (BTW, I'm a vegan, also a writer and I live in Fort Collins)...

Let me know how it goes, April! It's a great way to cook tofu, even if you add it to other dishes without the peanut sauce.

I actually made it last night and it was a huge hit! And extremely easy--I'll be making it often. Thanks!
