Simple Baked Tofu Ingredients
- 14oz Tofuuuuu (Extra Firm) (Double this if its more than 3 peeps)
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp RIce Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 3 Garlic Cloves
Spring Roll Salad Ingredients
- Full stack of Green Onions - Allll them green onions
- 1ish Cups Cilantro
- 2 Fat Avocados
- 1/2 a Cucumber Sliced
- 1 Cup per serving Romaine Lettuce or other leaves Leaves (baby spinach, spring mix, etc.)
Peanut Sauce Ingredients
- 2-3 Cloves Garlic
- 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Creamy or Crunchy)
- 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (reduced sodium)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup or agave
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil (Don't leave this out, take your ass back to the store if you don't have it)
Instructions:
- First things first, Preheat the oven to 425°F and start the water for the noodles per package instructions.
- Dry out that tofu, don't skip this step. Just open your Tofu, drain it, and wrap it in a few paper towels while you prep the tofu sauce.
- Grab a small bowl and add the tofu ingredients together (olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic), and mix that B. I recommend using a garlic press for garlic, but you do you.
- Cut the tofu into 1"x1/2"x1/2". I cut down the center on the long edges first, and then make 4 slices across the short edge. This will give 20 pieces at about that measurement.
- Pour the sauce over the tofu and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, stiring once or twice for full coverage.
- While that sits, let's put this jaw droppingly delicious peanut sauce together. Grab a small bowl and add the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, syrup or agave, toasted sesame oil, and pressed or chopped garlic. Now whisk that B! Don't use a fork, you are not a cave person, get your whisk out. Serve in that bowl.
- Now that your tofu is good and soaked in all that flavor, grab a pan and add some foil and parchment paper. Add the tofu and spread it out, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until desired tenderness. I prefer a bit of char on my tofu, but you do you.
- Your noodles will be served cold, so once the noodles are finished, throw it into a colander and run some cold water off to cool it, then let it drain.
- Now cut up all those veggies into bite size pieces, and throw them in some bowls for serving.
- Once the Tofu is done, add it to a bowl for serving.
- Now, add your leaves, tofu, noodles, and veggies to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce and other favorite sauces. We use a lot of sauces, below I'll list out our favorites. I recommend 2 Tbsp Peanut Sauce, 2 Tbsp Szechuan Spicy (Classic if you don't want the spice), 1 Tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce, and 1/2 Tbsp Sriracha if you like a kick.
Recommended Sauces:
- House of Tsang - Classic Sauce
- House of Tsand - Szechuan Spicy
- Mai Ploy - Sweet Chili Sauce
- Sriracha
Alternative: Get some rice paper, and add all these ingredients to create proper spring rolls. ;)
If this is new to you, get a pie plate with water to soak your rice paper in for a couple seconds before putting it on your plate to roll. This is an art and will take some practice.
