Tofu Recipe Peanut
Savory and creamy Peanut Butter Tofu. Such a quick and easy meal that your whole family will love. Paired with rice and topped with sesame seeds and green onions. This recipe is dairy-free and gluten-free.
For this recipe I used extra firm tofu. I recommend getting high protein tofu or extra firm tofu because it will hold its shape better than soft tofu. The first thing you will want to do before baking your tofu is press your tofu for at least 20 minutes.
You might be thinking, why should I press my tofu before baking? I like to refer to tofu as a sponge since it absorbs the liquids in which it is submerged in. When you buy your tofu it is already in a container of water. So I suggest you carefully take the tofu out of the package and drain the water. Then using a kitchen linen dab as much water off the tofu as possible before pressing your tofu. In order to get your tofu crispy you will need to remove as much of the liquid in it as possible.

Peanut Tofu Salad
Lately, I have been VERY into making vegan versions of my favorite takeout recipes at home. It all started with this Black Pepper Tofu & Green Beans , which is now the most popular recipe on SGTO, followed by the Best Vegan Fried Rice recipe.
This spicy peanut tofu recipe takes it one step further by baking tofu and then covering that tofu in a healthier & oil-free spicy peanut sauce.

Tofu With Peanut Ginger Sauce Recipe
To keep this recipe completely oil-free, I decided to bake the tofu! Making baked tofu is actually incredibly easy, so here's a quick rundown of the steps:
Doing this helps to prevent the tofu from sticking and still allows it to get crispy in the oven. Win, win! We are also going to cook the tofu at 400F so it gets crispy & gets rid of any excess moisture.
First things first, I want to stress that this recipe only works with the firm or extra-firm tofu. Silken tofu or soft tofu has too much moisture to get crispy and risks falling apart when being mixed with the cornstarch.

Before baking firm tofu, press it between two towels or paper towels to soak up any excess moisture. There are a lot of recipes out there that say you need to do this for hours, but I honestly do it for 5-10 minutes and always get crispy tofu. Place a heavy item, like a plate, on top to really squeeze out any excess moisture.
Once the tofu has been pressed, add it to a large mixing bowl and add in 2 Tbsp of cornstarch. Mix together until the tofu is coated and no dry spots of cornstarch remain.
Next, lay the tofu out on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy! I like to flip the tofu halfway through baking so it gets evenly crisp on both sides.
Peanut Butter Tofu Stir Fry
Cooking tofu this way leads to tofu that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It won't be mushy on the inside! If you want softer tofu, follow my Black Pepper Tofu recipe and stir fry the tofu instead.
Yes and no. If you want truly crispy tofu the cornstarch helps crisp and brown the edges. However, baking tofu without cornstarch will also lead to firm tofu. It won't be quite as crispy, but it still will taste great! If you don't have any cornstarch on hand, just omit it and bake the tofu as is.
Also, I don't recommend replacing cornstarch with arrowroot powder or tapioca powder in this recipe as it doesn't produce the same texture.
Peanut Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
Ready for this one-step sriracha peanut sauce? Simply add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend! Yes, it's truly THAT easy to make this vegan peanut sauce.
This sauce is decently thick without water which is why I like to add in 1-2 Tbsp of water. However, that's totally optional so adjust this sauce to your preferred thickness.
Also, I do want to note that this recipe only makes enough sauce to coat the tofu. If you are looking to have extra sauce to drizzle on veggies, rice noodles, or just to save for later- I recommend doubling the recipe.
Crispy Tofu With Peanut Sauce
I recommend using creamy UNSALTED peanut butter. I actually used natural peanut butter (which will separate naturally if left to sit) and it worked really well for this recipe!
Using unsalted peanut butter is really important because the Tamari adds a decent amount of sodium to this recipe (and you don't want it to be too salty)
Luckily, this tofu peanut sauce is easy to double or triple because it can be stored in the fridge or freezer in a closed container. In the fridge, it will keep for 5-7 days. If you are using natural peanut butter it may separate a bit in the fridge, so just whisk it together before using.
Peanut Sesame Noodles With Crispy Tofu
If you are storing in the freezer I recommend adding to ice cube trays, freezing, and then storing the cubes in a closed container. Otherwise, it can be relatively difficult to get the sauce out of a frozen container and you will have to defrost it first. This peanut sauce will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
I truly hope you enjoy this easy 30-minute Baked Tofu with peanut sauce! It really is the perfect sweet, salty, and spicy baked tofu recipe that also happens to be healthier & oil-free. Enjoy!

Spicy Baked Peanut Tofu
Today I am sharing another such recipe which is made using a few basic ingredients and gets ready within minutes. And, it tastes amazing. The dish is - Tofu in peanut sauce or peanut butter tofu. If you love peanut butter or tofu then you must try it.
I get a lot of messages from my readers sharing that though they love how tofu dishes look but hate the taste. I can very well understand that because I also hated it when I tried it for the first time. In fact, I had to throw the whole dish because I couldn't swallow tofu. And, I am a person who is strictly against wasting food.
So, if you are also facing this challenge then don't worry- most of the people who didn't grow up eating tofu hate it initially as tofu has an acquired taste.
