Ingredients
Brown sugar ¼ tbsp or 2g
Directions
- Peanut sauce: In a small saucepan, heat peanut butter, soy sauce, finely chopped ginger and garlic, and brown sugar on low heat until all ingredients are mixed. Add water to desired consistency of sauce.
- While heating the peanut sauce, heat tofu either by boiling or broiling (broiling will take longer, about 30 minutes in the oven). Also, steam cook the green beans and sliced mushrooms on the stove top in a little water for a few minutes until tender.
- Combine tofu and peanut sauce with steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
