Thai Peanut Tofu Bowl
Ingredients
  • 2 cups uncooked sushi (sticky) or medium-grain rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
  • 1 (8 ounce) package baked tofu, cut into bite-size pieces
Instructions
1
Combine the rice with 4 cups of water in a cooking vessel and heat it up to a rolling boil. Cover the pot with a lid and decrease the heat to a low simmer; let it cook until the rice is soft and has absorbed all the water, taking around 20 minutes.
2
In another saucepan, mix together the peanut butter, 1 cup of hot water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes. Heat it up over medium heat to get a gentle simmer going. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more hot water in small increments of 1/4 cup at a time to achieve the right consistency.
3
Heat about an inch of water to a boil in a large cooking pot. Place the spinach and tofu into a steamer basket above the boiling water, then cover it with a lid. Let it steam until the spinach has wilted and the tofu is heated through, taking around 7 minutes.
4
To serve, place the spinach and tofu over a bed of white rice and drizzle with peanut sauce.
