Steps:
- Slice the tofu into ten slices, width-wise. Cut each slice in half so that you have 20 squares of tofu. To remove excess moisture, pat each side lightly with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
- In a large saucepan, heat peanut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Saute until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Add the tofu to the pan in a single layer; depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches. Cook each side for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, making the spicy peanut sauce by mixing together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, and sriracha. It should be smooth and creamy, like a thick sauce.
- Use a basting or pastry brush to brush the peanut sauce lightly onto the exposed side of the tofu. Flip over, cooking another 1-2 minutes, until browned. Repeat with the other side of the tofu.
- Remove the tofu from the pan once browned on both sides. Enjoy with additional spicy peanut sauce, rice, and veggies.

PAN-FRIED TOFU WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
A tasty snack or appetizer. Tofu cubes are very crispy outside, yet warm and soft inside. Sort of like Asian "french fries". And i simple love the sauce, even used it as salad dressing sometimes!

Steps:
- 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.
