Ingredients
- 2 (1 pound) packages firm tofu, drained
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 green bell peppers, chopped
- 2 large onions, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup natural, unsalted peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice tofu into 1/2-inch-thick strips and press between paper towels to remove excess water; leave to drain while preparing vegetables.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil and sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add green bell peppers, onions, and carrots; saute until peppers and carrots are tender and onions are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, mix in green onions and garlic, and cover with a lid.
Step 3
Chop tofu into bite-sized chunks. Heat remaining peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Combine peanut butter, water, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper in a blender and blend until smooth to make the peanut sauce.
Step 5
Transfer tofu and peanut sauce to the skillet with the vegetables. Heat over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
