pan fried tofu recipe, how to make pan fried tofu with peanut sauce

by dassana amit updated December 31, 2013

pan fried tofu with peanut sauce – one of the asian tofu recipes i had made many months ago. i had shared this recipe on nupur's blog uk rasoi as guest post.

i am adding this recipe for my readers. this is one easy tofu recipe which is quick to put together and makes for a great snack or appetizer. here regular tofu is used. the tofu is batter coated and pan fried and hence healthier.

these crisp fried tofu are served with a sweet and mildly spiced peanut sauce. the peanut sauce is again easy to assemble and is made smooth peanut butter.

i have adapted this tofu recipe from the complete book of vegetarian cooking. the original tofu recipe is made with eggs and deep fried. i have made it eggless and pan fried. also i omitted some ingredients like barbecue sauce & rice vinegar in the peanut sauce as i did not have them. i have used my own proportions and included quite a few ingredients which were not in the original recipe.
