Tofu and vegetables get a dramatic lift from a spicy peanut sauce. Serve with a cucumber salad for a low-calorie, nutrient-packed vegetarian supper.
Ingredient Tip
Rice vinegar (or rice-wine vinegar) is mild, slightly sweet vinegar made from fermented rice. Find it in the Asian section of supermarkets and specialty stores.
I really love ginger and grew up on satays, so this recipe caught my eye. Some minor modifications I made to better suit my boyfriend and my palates and out of convenience were as follows:
Substitute Gourmet Garden - Ginger Spice Blend (it\'s a tube of minced ginger in a soft paste) for fresh ginger. (I also added an extra tablespoon to what the recipe suggested.)
Substitute crunchy for smooth peanut butter - adds a nice crunch
Add an extra clove of garlic (was actually using minced garlic from a bottle, so added an extra teaspoon.)
Substitute baby bok choy (both leaves and stems) cut into 1/2 inch pieces for spinach - we felt bok choy would have a better flavor and texture with it\'s crunch and thicker leaves. Also, we have noticed that this vegetable is more commonly found in Asian foods than spinach is.
We ate this on a bed of whole wheat noodles, but rice would also work nicely.

I recently became a vegetarian and it is sometimes difficult to find new dishes that fit into my diet. This is one of my absolute favorite new recipes. I eat it a couple of times a week. Delicious!

I made this really quick on the weekend after I went running and I was eating so fast. This meal was so good I actually forced myself to eat slower! I too used less ginger because I don\'t like the strong flavor but even with that tablespoon of peanut butter it still had a great taste!

I just absolutely loved this recipe! It was very easy to make. I left the tofu in rectangular chunks instead of crumbling. I also nixed the honey because I didn\'t want the extra sugar and it still tasted delicious. I paired it with asparagus and red potatoes with lemon juice and spices. I\'m making it again for my meeting at work this Friday! LOVED IT.

The sauce in this recipe is so easy and so yummy! I followed everything exactly, except I cooked the veggies separately, then added to the sauce and tofu. Will definitely make this again.
