Ingredients
 
 

For the Baked Tofu:

  • 1 pack firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil

For the stuffing:

  • 1 jicama peeled and shredded
  • 5 baby carrots shredded
  • 1 cucumber peeled and shredded
  • 1 pack beansprouts

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • ½ cup peanuts crushed (skinless)
  • 6 tbsp peanut butter creamy
  • ½ tp salt
  • 1 green chili
  • 1 lemongrass white part only
  • ½ tsp ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • ⅓ tsp tamarind seedless
  • 1 tbsp filtered water

Instructions
 

How to make Baked Tofu:

  • Drain the water from the package.
  • Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and put a small plate and a small jar on top for 30 minutes.
  • Wipe off any excess with kitchen paper, cut into triangles, and mix the above ingredients except the corn starch.
  • Finally, dust with corn starch and rub evenly on all sides of the tofu.
  • Drizzle peanut oil and bake on a foil lined tray at 4000F for 30-40minutes or until golden brown. Flip them over twice while baking.

How to make the Peanut Sauce:

  • Grind all the above ingredients in a blender except the crushed peanuts. Add the crushed peanuts after you have blended for the sauce.

How to assemble the Baked Tofu:

  • Absorb any excess oil on the tofu using a kitchen paper and make a slit in the center.
  • Stuff with shredded carrots, beansprouts, cucumber, and jicama.
  • Serve with peanut sauce.

Notes

  1. You could substitute radish for jicama.
  2. You could purchase the peanut sauce (picture above), but I like the homemade version.
