I add onions too.         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/15/2012   I love this so much despite not being a huge tofu fan. Man of the house has made this many times and it always comes out well -- pretty spicy but also sweet, maybe could do without all the brown sugar. Just be sure to press the tofu for 3-5 hours in advance.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (14 ounces each) firm or extra-firm tofu, drained well 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 medium red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch-wide strips 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon Asian-style chili-garlic sauce 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar 4 sprigs cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice each tofu cake crosswise into 6 rectangles.

In a shallow container, whisk together 1 tablespoon each oil and soy sauce. Dip tofu pieces lightly on all sides to coat. Brush two rimmed baking sheets with remaining tablespoon oil; divide tofu between them. Scatter peppers around the edges.

Bake 10 minutes; turn tofu and peppers. Continue baking until tofu is golden brown and peppers begin to char, 10 to 15 minutes more.

In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, chili sauce, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons water, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, until warm. Drizzle sauce over tofu and peppers. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

I love this so much despite not being a huge tofu fan. Man of the house has made this many times and it always comes out well – pretty spicy but also sweet, maybe could do without all the brown sugar. Just be sure to press the tofu for 3-5 hours in advance.
