Tofu Peanut Stir-Fry

This is absolutely the best way to eat tofu, especially for first timers. The tofu has a slightly crunchy exterior while the inside is nice and soft. I used to make my stir-fry with chicken or beef, but my husband won't have it any other way than tofu now! And my 2 year old loves it! It is a delicious, easy, quick, and inexpensive meal. Serve with Asian noodles or with steamed rice. Enjoy!

  • 1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • ¾ cup peanut sauce
