Thai Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy or tamari sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sherry, optional
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

In a small bowl, blend peanut butter, water, soy sauce, sherry, lemon juice, and brown sugar. You can heat the peanut butter in the microwave prior to adding other ingredients to “liquefy” it. It blends much easier that way.

You can marinate tofu in 1/2 the peanut sauce over night. Cut the tofu into thin strips length wise and then in half width wise. This coats the tofu nicely for pan searing the next night. Reserve the other 1/2 the marinade to pour over the stir fry.
