Steamed jasmine rice or coconut rice
Toasted sesame seeds

For the tofu;
In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients.
Add the tofu and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavour.

For the Peanut Sauce:
In a small pan, combine the ingredients and gently heat, stirring until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick.

To serve;
Serve the tofu with rice, and peanut sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped coriander, crushed peanuts, and chilli slices.
