Ingredients:
350 g firm tofu
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup pineapple juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp honey
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 small onion, diced
1 cup vegetable stock
1 tsp cumin
1/2 cup low-fat soy milk or dairy milk
1/2 tsp mild curry powder
1/2 cup reserved marinade
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 carrot, sliced
1 red capsicum, sliced
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup broccoli florets
Directions:
Cut tofu into eight 1 cm thick small rectangles.
For marinade: Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic and honey in a shallow dish. Place tofu in marinade and stand for 30 minutes.
Heat half the oil in a frypan. Cook tofu until golden brown on both sides, set aside and keep warm.
For satay sauce: Combine peanut butter, onion, vegetable stock, cumin, milk, curry powder, reserved marinade and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to the boil, reduce heat and simmer continuously for 5 minutes.
Whilst sauce is simmering, heat remaining oil in the frypan. Stir-fry carrot, capsicum, snow peas and broccoli for 2 - 3 minutes. Add tofu to the frypan and pour satay sauce over the vegetables and tofu.
Serve over steamed rice.
