Thai Food - At Home!

I made fried tofu with vegetables and rice in a delightful peanut sauce on Sunday evening.  It had to be good -- Big J had seconds, and Little J ate over half of his serving, even after eating chips.

I found the recipe for the sauce at allrecipes.com.  I mixed up the sauce and added it to cubed, fried, extra firm tofu, some leftover pork, carrots and onions.

The sauce:

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons of water
1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons of tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
1 1/2 teaspoons of fish sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon Franks Red Hot Sauce
1/2 tablespoon of ginger
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Mix all ingredients but the cilantro.  Add cilantro just prior to serving.  The original recipe indicated you could just mix and serve.  I ended up heating it on low to help the peanut butter mix in a little better.
