Ingredients

28 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
16 oz stir-fry vegetables
⅓ cup peanut butter
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 limes
3 garlic cloves
1½ cups rice
crushed peanuts
green onions

From your pantry: 3 tbsp cornstarch, 3 tbsp oil, chili flakes, sesame oil.

Instructions

Start the rice. Toss the tofu with the cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
Fry in 2 tbsp oil over medium-high, turning, until crisp on all sides, 10 minutes. Move to a plate.
Whisk the peanut butter, soy, honey, juice of 1 lime, garlic, sesame oil and ⅓ cup hot water.
Stir-fry the vegetables in the remaining oil until hot, 4 minutes. Add the sauce and tofu and toss to coat.
Serve over rice with peanuts, green onions and lime wedges.

Tip: Press the tofu between towels under a heavy pan for 15 minutes. Drier tofu gets crispier.
