Baked Tofu with Peanut Satay Sauce

and Steamed Bok Choy

We feel a bit sorry for tofu. Countless incidents of under-seasoning and bad cooking have meant that this Asian favourite has earned a pretty bad ‘rep’. Everyone deserves a second chance though, and for this recipe, we’ve baked the tofu for extra, chewy deliciousness and teamed it up with a rich peanut satay sauce to wake up your taste buds. Check out step 6 overleaf before you start and learn how to make your own DIY steamer for the bok choy.

Instructions

Chop the bok choy
1

Boil a large pot of water with ¼ tsp of salt. Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Roughly chop the bok choy.

2

Rinse the brown rice under running water for 30 seconds. Tip the rice into the boiling water and boil for around 25 mins. Tip: The rice will be ready once soft enough to eat, yet retaining some chewiness. When cooked drain the rice thoroughly, put back in the pot and place a tea towel over it.

3

Lay the cubed tofu on some kitchen towel that will soak up as much moisture as possible.

Mix the peanut butter, soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce
4

In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce.Tip: To loosen up the sauce, add 2 tbsp of milk if you have it or a little dash of hot water if not.

Put your tofu on a baking tray
5

Once the oven is hot, gently toss the tofu in 2 tsp of olive oil and place on a baking tray. Cook on the top shelf of the oven until crispy on all sides. Tip: The tofu should be ready in about 25 mins - turn it every 10 mins.

6

Just before the rice is cooked, place a colander over the pot of boiling rice and steam the bok choy (with a lid or a plate on top) for 3 mins, then remove.

Fold the ingredients together
7

Once the tofu is cooked, add the steamed bok choy and satay sauce to the tofu on the baking tray. Gently fold all the ingredients together.

8

Serve with a side of your perfectly cooked delicious brown rice and sprinkle some cashews on top.
