Ingredients:

Serving

200 g firm tofu
2 tbsp cornstarch
salt and pepper , to taste
oil, for frying
1 tbsp peanut butter (i used crunchy)
3 tbsp skim milk or 3 tbsp soymilk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp chili sauce or 1 tbsp ketchup
1 dash chili flakes
salt and pepper , to taste

Directions:

Drain tofu (i pressed gently between paper towels).
Cut into bite-sized cubes.
Toss with cornstarch, coating the cubes.
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
Heat some oil (about 3-4 tablespoon, just ensure pan is coated).
Fry the tofu cubes in batches, making sure all sides are lightly browned.
Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
Sauce: Heat the milk in small saucepan (you can make sauce in microwave too).
Add peanut butter, stirring well.
Add other seasonings, according to personal taste (I love spicy food, so i added LOTS of chilli flakes!). If you use coconut milk, add 1/2 - 1 tsp of lime juice too - it will be great!
Serve hot, as a snack or appetizer. Sometimes i serve them with a sweet Chinese dessert: Green Bean Soup.
