Tofu with peanut butter sauce and brown rice
Ingredients (for 1 person)
60g of brown rice
100g of firm tofu
3 tablespoons of unsweetened yoghurt
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of soya sauce
A pinch of Garlic, parsley
A pinch of chilli flakes, turmeric (optional)
Method
Cook the rice according to the instruction on the package
Cut the tofu into cubes, then place them in a small pan
Add the yoghurt, peanut butter, garlic, parsley, chilli flakes and turmeric and put on a medium fire.
Cook until you get a smooth texture. Do not boil.
Drain the rice, and place it on a plate. Add the tofu in peanut butter sauce
Serve immediately
If you want to add extra flavour, you can also add a pinch of curry to the sauce. It works very well with peanut butter to create a more complex sauce. In that case, I recommend removing the soya sauce.
