The tofu is simply delicious, so if you manage to not eat it all straight from the pan (I'm definitely guilty of this 😂), then serve it up with basmati rice or top it onto Peanut Noodles!

PBJ Glazed Tofu
Ingredients
- 400 g extra firm tofu
- 2-3 tbsp cornstarch
- sesame or peanut oil for frying
For the tofu rub:
- 2 tbsp sesame or peanut oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the glaze:
- 50 g raspberry jam
- 25 ml apple juice
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
For the sauce:
- 100 g peanut butter
- 100 ml apple juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp tamari soya sauce
Instructions
- Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove any excess water.
- Break the tofu into bite-size pieces with your hands. The uneven shapes from using your hands will create deiiciously crispy tofu edges later on.
- Mix the ingredients for the spice rub and toss the tofu in the rub to evenly coat. In the meantime, heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet.
- Coat the tofu in the cornstarch, then pan-fry it until crispy on all sides. Carefully flip the tofu with chopsticks for each handling.
- Combine all ingredients for the glaze and pour the glaze into the pan.
- Evenly coat the tofu and remove from the heat once the glaze thickens.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the peanut sauce, then serve the tofu on rice or noodles and drizzled with the sauce. Enjoy!
