Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and cubed
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1-2 teaspoons sriracha
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup sliced carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Directions

1. 1

   Press and cube the tofu. Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Sauté bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   In a blender, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed for consistency.

4. 4

   Return tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over, stirring to coat well.

5. 5

   Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

6. 6

   Serve over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with chopped peanuts.
