Ingredients
- 14 ounce package firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 package 1 lb. The Little Potato Company Microwave Ready potatoes, any flavor
- 2 cups steamed green beans, see notes
- 3 cups shredded red or green cabbage
- 1 cup peeled and chopped cucumber
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, can also sub 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons hot water, to thin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cube tofu and place in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. If you aren’t using a non-stick baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking spray. Remove from oven and place in a shallow bowl.
- While the tofu is cooking, whisk together all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce until creamy and easily pourable. Place 3 tablespoons of the peanut sauce into the bowl with the cooked tofu. Reserve the remaining sauce.
- Cook the Little Potato Company potatoes as directed. Peel back plastic film and remove seasoning pack. Position film to close and place tray in microwave. Cook on high for 5 minutes. (Cooking times may vary by microwave). Let rest for 2-4 minutes in the tray, then remove plastic film and stir in seasoning pack.
- Assemble! Place the cooked and raw vegetables into separate bowls and top with the tofu. Drizzle on remaining peanut sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- To make these come together quickly, I buy the steam-ready green beans so I can throw them in the microwave after the potatoes. If you don't have those, then steam the green beans separately while the potatoes and tofu is cooking.
- The tofu can be made ahead of time!
