Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lime juice

  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter

  • 1 tbsp sriracha, (optional)

  • 210-g pkg smoked tofu

Instructions

  • Whisk hoisin sauce with lime juice, peanut butter and sriracha (if desired) in a medium bowl. Set aside. Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then cut crosswise into 1/4-in.-thin slices. Heat a very large frying pan or grill pan over medium. Add 2 tsp oil, then tofu. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 min per side. Transfer to a plate.
