1/3 c Smooth peanut butter
1/4 c Coconut milk
This is one of my favorites. Deep fried tofu with a
peanut sauce for dipping. This one calls for pressing
the tofu first. It makes it denser.
1: Wrap tofu in 3 sheets of absorbent paper, weigh
down with plate; let stand for 4 hours.
2: Just before serving, cut tofu into 2cm cubes.
Deep fry cubes in hot oil in batches until well
browned; drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with warm
peanut sauce.
3: Peanut Sauce: Combine coriander root, chilli,
garlic, sugar and vinegar in pan, stir over heat until
sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanut buffer and coconut
milk, stir until heated through. Serve sprinkled with
fresh coriander and chilli, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Storage: Covered, in
refrigerator. Freeze: Not suitable. Microwave: Sauce
suitable.
