Sautéed Tofu & Veggies in Peanut Sauce

Sautéed Tofu & Veggies in Peanut Sauce:

Serves 6:

4 servings Pearled Couscous (I use RiceSelect and do not add salt or butter)

2 packages of Extra Firm or Firm Organic Tofu (I use Nasoya)

12 tbsp 365 Organic Peanut Sauce (separated into 6, 2, 3, 1 servings)

1 cup shredded or diced organic carrots 

1 cup chopped organic broccoli florets

2 cups organic snap peas

1 cup 365 organic raw cashews, lightly crushed

1 lime (optional) 

First drain and cube to tofu (I cut each container into 60 pieces by slicing 4x5x3) then marinate the tofu in 6tbsp of the peanut sauce for at least 20-30 minutes. I like to do this at the beginning of the day and keep in the fridge so that it can marinate all day and be ready to use when it's time to prepare dinner. If you do the same, take the tofu out of the refrigerator when you begin so that it can start to reach room temperature. 

Set the water to boil for the couscous, but do not add couscous until completing next step. Briefly steam your veggies so they are are almost fully cooked then transfer them to a large pan over low heat, add 2 tbsp of the peanut sauce and mix thoroughly. Add tofu to pan, gently flip together with vegetables and another 3tbsp of peanut sauce, partially cover, turn heat to medium, and let sit. 

Once the tofu and veggies are heating, add couscous to boiling water and cook as directed. While couscous is cooking monitor tofu and veggies stirring occasionally and add in the cashews. 

Once couscous is cooked, drain add remaining 1 tbsp of peanut sauce and mix thoroughly throughout the couscous. Divide couscous onto plates or into bowls, then top with tofu and veggies and serve with a lime wedge! 

Enjoy!
