Tofu Indonesian-Style

 

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar

2 garlic cloves, minced/pressed

1 tablespoon sesame seed

3 green onions

1 pound regular tofu, drained

hot cooked rice

major grey chutney

 

1. In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter, soy sauce, water, sesame

oil, ginger, vinegar, and sugar until smooth. Mix in garlic, sesame seed,

and onions.

2. Spoon about 1/4 of the peanut butter mixture into an 8 " square pan. Cut

tofu into 4 equal slices. Lay slices side by side in pan (trim slices to

fit, if needed, tucking scraps into corners). Spoon remaining sauce over

tofu. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 4 hours.

3. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree oven until tofu is hot in center, about

25 minutes. Transfer tofu to plates with a spatula; spoon sauce onto tofu

and rice. Offer chutney to add to taste.

Serves 4.
