How to Prepare Crispy Thai Almond Butter Tofu [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Cube tofu and bake (plain) at 400°F until semi-poofy/crispy (about 30 minutes).
  2. In a pot or bowl, mix 2 tablespoons almond butter with juice of half a lime, 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce, finely grated ginger to taste, and 1 tablespoon sweetener.
  3. You can add water to thin it out but even a tablespoon of water can take it from too thick to too thin, so add slowly.
  4. Taste to make sure it’s sweet, salty, and soy sauce-y enough. Mix in tofu and serve.
