Tofu With Peanut-Ginger Sauce

5.0(1675)

If you don’t feel like cooking on a hot summer day, you can enjoy plain cold tofu with a dipping sauce. Or you can sear it quickly in a pan or grill it. This recipe and the others that follow it this week make enough sauce or marinade for a pound of tofu.Spread this sweet and pungent peanut sauce on seared, grilled or uncooked tofu. It also makes a nice dipping sauce for crudités or spring rolls.
