Thai Tofu Bites With Chilli Peanut Sauce

Mixing the great taste of Mayver’s peanut butter with other zesty and fresh flavours like the ones used in this recipe, makes for a delicious Thai-inspired lunch or dinner! For a larger meal, enjoy alongside some sliced cucumber and rice noodles.

Ingredients (serves 2 | makes 2 serves)

Tofu bites
2 zucchinis (roughly chopped)
3 small-medium flat mushrooms (roughly chopped)
285g firm/extra firm tofu
2 green spring onions (chopped)
1 tsp grated ginger
3 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp neutral oil
2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup flour
3 tsp minced garlic
Chilli Peanut Sauce
1/2 cup Mayver’s Dark Roast Smooth or Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/2 red chilli (finely chopped)
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp crushed ginger
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tbsp curry powder
270ml can coconut milk
2 tbsp 100% maple syrup

Method

For the tofu bites, add all ingredients (except tofu, flour and neutral oil) into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add tofu and pulse again until tofu is combined (note: be very careful not to over mix!).
Hand mix in flour (add more flour is balls are not forming).
Roll mixture into small bite-sized pieces then place in freezer or 15 minutes.
Once the mixture has chilled, heat neutral oil in pan, then add balls and cook on both sides until brown.
FOR THE CHILLI PEANUT SAUCE Heat sesame oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, ginger, chilli and curry powder. Cook until fragrant (approx.1-2 minutes)
Add coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup and then Mayver’s Dark Roasted Peanut Butter (use a whisk to combine if peanut butter is not dispersing).
Ready to serve!

They sound relish but a little too long to make. I shall try when I have more time up my sleeve.

Unfortunately there’s too many unusual ingredients for me to find. Looks tempting though

I’m not usually a tofu fan, but I might try this if I can find a nut free substitute for peanut sauce
