SPICY LEMONGRASS TOFU
Steps:
- Combine the lemongrass, soy sauce, chiles, chile flakes, turmeric, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the tofu cubes and turn to coat them evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat half of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat. Add the onion, shallot and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Wipe the pan clean and heat the remaining oil over moderate heat. Add the tofu mixture and, using chopsticks or wooden spoons, turn so it cooks evenly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion mixture and cook, uncovered, for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add half the peanuts and all the pepper leaves.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with the remaining peanuts and serve immediately with steamed rice.
- Place the peanuts on a cookie tray and bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Halfway into the baking, gently shake the tray so the peanuts roast evenly. (You can also roast the peanuts in a dry pan over low heat). Remove and set aside. Use the peanuts whole or coarsely chop them with a mortar and pestle, a food processor or a knife.
- Yield: 1 cup

moore.julie@gmail.comThis recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
Joyce Waithera
waithera-j0@gmail.comI found that the tofu didn't get crispy enough, even after following the recipe exactly. I think I would try frying the tofu for a bit longer next time.

nuhu-suleiman64@aol.comThis dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.
