1.5 pounds firm, sprouted tofu (one and half packages of Trader Joe’s sprouted tofu)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1 TBL agave
1/2 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBL Siracha
1 tsp sesame oil
1 TBL Braggs or lite soy sauce
1 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 TBL vinegar
Preheat oven to 350.
Slice the tofu into 9 slabs. Heat oil in a pan and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Remove from heat and cool. Cut into bite sized pieces. Place tofu in a baking dish (we used a large cake pan) and toss with 1 TBL Braggs.
Blend the other ingredients together and pour over tofu. Make sure all the pieces are well coated. Bake about 30-40 minutes until most of the liquid has absorbed and the tofu is firm. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil. The longer you cook it, the firmer the tofu will become.
Heat a frying pan and sautee the bell pepper with the cayenne and vinegar. Cook until tender, but not mushy.
Serve tofu and peppers over vegetable fried rice.

I’m so going to try this. Javanese tofus!
Yum, this looks great! I love peanut sauce so I’m sure I will love this. Thanks for linking up at my blog hop!
Yay! The blog hop was fun idea!
O.K. you threw me with the “sprouted” tofu. I’m going to have to look that one up. This dish looks absolutely delicious – healthy and quite tasty I’m sure. Definitely something I would love!
If you cant find sprouted tofu, any firm tofu will work. The sprouted kind has a very nice flavor and texture. We buy the Trader Joes brand, but Wildwood and other companies offer it as well. Some people find it easier to digest. Hope you enjoy!!!
