Servings: 2 servings
Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

  • 1 package extra firm tofu drained, pressed and cut into bite sized cubes
  • 1 or 2 heads bok choy depending on their size, sliced into ribbons, washed and drained. Separate the thicker stems from the leaves. OR about 4 cups any hearty green you like
  • 1 medium onion peeled and cut into petals
  • optional chopped garlic
  • generous pinch of red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet to about 1/2"
  • optional chopped peanuts for garnish

For the peanut sauce

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • juice of a lime
  • any other condiment to taste
  • some water to thin it out

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients for the peanut sauce together in a bowl first and allow to stand until the rest is ready. It will take about 1/4 cup of water or more to thin it down.
  • Heat the oil and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry the tofu on all sides until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
  • Pour off most of the oil and heat the onions and large stems from the bok choy until softened and beginning to change color.
  • Add the rest of the leaves and stir fry until tender and bright green.
  • Return the tofu to the pan and pour over about half of the peanut sauce. Mix to coat.
  • Serve with the remaining peanut sauce and chopped peanuts for garnish.
