Ingredients
  

Crispy Baked Tofu
  • 1 pack Extra firm tofu drained and pressed
  • 1 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast or Cornstarch
Almond Butter Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Open Nature Creamy Almond Butter
  • 1/2 cup O Organics Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 2 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp Sriracha more or less to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp O Organics Pure Maple Syrup
Other Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil or Water
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-3 Green Onions, sliced
  • Rice or Rice Noodles
Garnishes
  • O Organics Roasted Almonds chopped
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Green Onions sliced
  • Cilantro chopped
  • Lime Wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450.
  2. Cut tofu into even cubes. Add the cubed tofu to a wide, shallow bowl and gently toss with tamari. Add the nutritional yeast or cornstarch and toss again until thoroughly coated. Line cubes on a silicone baking mat. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Tofu should be crispy and golden brown.
  3. While the tofu is baking, prepare the Spicy Almond Butter Sauce by whisking all ingredients together in a medium bowl. You can use a blender if you prefer. The sauce will be thin and slightly runny.
  4. Heat olive oil or water in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and green onion, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the Crispy Baked Tofu and Almond Butter Sauce and stir until everything is coated. You'll notice the sauce will thicken as its heated.
  5. Once the tofu and sauce are warm, serve over rice or noodles of choice. Garnish and enjoy.

Notes

I highly recommend using baking sheet with a silicone liner when baking tofu as I find the tofu gets crispier and is also easier to flip.
If using super firm tofu, no pressing needed.
