Tofu Peanut Stir-Fry

By: Ani 
"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!"

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup peanut sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
