If you are like me and LOVE peanut butter and spicy food, this is a very easy recipe! You can add tofu, Tempeh, and/or carrots to make a very rich and filling sauce to put on top of rice.

Instructions
- Finely dice your leek or onion and garlic. Saute in good quality non-stick pan. Can be done with oil, or steamed with water. You just need to soften the garlic and onion.
- Add all ingredients except for tofu / tempeh. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Once sauce thickens, add your tofu or Tempeh. Cook 5 minutes or until hot. If I am adding carrot, I will also add them at this point and they only take about 5 minutes to soften and heat. I use a carrot peeler to peel the carrot into slices. If my sauce gets too thick, I will add a little more vegetable broth.
- Once thickened, spoon it over rice, rice noodles, pea pods, etc.

This is yummy and I saute broccoli with the tofu and carrots
Glad you like it Karen! Subscribe for updates.
Any suggestions for vegetable alternatives to replace tofu/tempeh? I was thinking sweet potato, but I’m seeking more ideas. Thank you!
Sweet potato would work great…. any veg is fine but love the sweet potato idea!
This is one of our family’s go-to recipes! I add a little more Tamari/soy sauce and press the tofu so it doesn’t add a lot of its liquid to the sauce. I do end up needing a little more broth to thin. I throw in some steamed broccoli and serve over rice fettuccini. So yummy!
