Steps
Sequence Step
1Whisk or blend the peanut sauce ingredients. You can slightly modify the amounts to tweak your sauce. For example, add a bit more water for a thinner sauce, add more peanut butter for a thicker sauce, add more maple for a sweeter sauce, etc. Then, in a large mixing bowl, toss the zoodles with the peanut sauce. Zoodle Prep Note: You can serve the noodles raw or you can lightly steam them. I like them served raw.
2For the tofu: Warm a skillet over high heat. Add the coconut oil and allow to melt and coat pan. "Dry" the tofu well by squeezing the cubes with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Add the tofu to the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes then start flipping the tofu so all sides get bronzed a bit - the color will actually be slightly yellow at this point. Add the maple syrup and shake pan to distribute. Keep flipping the tofu, which will be quite caramelized and browned now. Add salt and spices. When edges start to crisp, turn off heat and set pan aside.
3Serve the peanutty noodles with the skillet tofu.
