How to Prepare Tofu Coins in Spicy Peanut Sauce [Vegan]

Preheat oven at 400°F and prepare a cookie sheet.
Crumble the tofu properly and combine chickpea flour, sriracha sauce. and salt into it and mix very well with your hands until smooth.
Divide the tofu mix into 10 equal balls and press between palms gently. Make sure there are no cracks in the tofu coins. Place them on the cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes flipping the coins once after 25 minutes. The tofu coins should be light golden brown in color.
In the meantime combine peanuts, red chilis, ginger garlic paste, sesame seeds, vinegar, and soy sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
Heat oil in a nonstick pan and add basil leaves. Immediately add scallions, red bell pepper, cabbage and mix well.
Now add peanut blend to the mix along with water, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well and let it boil for few minutes.
Once done, take the peanut sauce in a serving bowl and arrange tofu coins on top and garnish with some green onions and fried red chilies. Serve hot with steamed rice/brown rice/quinoa.

Notes

Thai basil can also be used. Maple syrup can also be used instead of brown sugar. Make sure tofu is properly drained and pressed as much as possible so that the coins are firm enough not to fall apart. Make sure to grease the liner on the cookie sheet very well to avoid sticking of the tofu coins.
