Ingredients
  

  • About ½ block high protein tofu [6 oz]
  • 2 large heads of bok choy [200g]
  • 15-20 string beans [50g]
  • 1 ¼ tbsp all natural peanut butter [20g]
  • 2 handfuls of cabbage [60g]
  • ¾ tbsp grade A maple syrup [10g]
  • 1 tsp sriracha [4g]
  • 1 ½ tbsp non-dairy milk [20g]
  • ¾ tbsp sesame oil [10g]
  • 1 ¼ tsp soy sauce [6g]
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Green onion and sesame seed for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tofu into cubes.
  • Add the tofu into a skillet with about 7g of the oil (a little more than half). Cook the tofu on a medium low heat. Allow the tofu to sit for 3-4 minutes per side. This will help it get extra crispy.
  • In a separate pan add the remaining oil, bok choy, cabbage and string beans. You can also add a splash of water. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Vegetables should be softened but still slightly crisp.
  • To prepare the sauce add the peanut butter, maple syrup, non-dairy milk and sriracha to a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • Once the tofu and vegetables are done remove from the heat.
  • The vegetables add the soy sauce and garlic powder. Stir to coat.
  • Add about ⅓ of the peanut sauce to the tofu. The heat from the pan will help to thin out the sauce a bit making the tofu easily coated.
  • Then add another ⅓ of the sauce to the vegetables and mix well.
  • When ready to eat add the vegetables underneath and tofu on top.
  • Drizzle remaining peanut sauce and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
