Ingredients

• 400 gms (0.89 lb) tofu
• 400 mls (1.67 cups) coconut milk
• 240 mls (1 cup) rice
• 240 mls (1 cup) water
• 240 mls (1 cup) peanut butter
• 2 tbsps soy sauce
• 2 tbsps lime juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 red chili
• 2 tbsps vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
2. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
4. For the spicy peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, finely chopped red chili, and 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
5. Serve the tofu over the coconut rice and drizzle with the spicy peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts or cilantro if desired.

Notes

• This dish is a wonderful blend of spicy, savory, and sweet flavors.
• For a vegan version, ensure the peanut sauce does not contain any fish sauce.
