After having the Thai Linguine with Tofu here at a local restaurant (the Jones Eastside), I decided I wanted to try my hand at making a similar dish. I found a basic peanut sauce recipe in my vegetarian cookbook, and then adapted it to my likes. It came out quite tasty! We had it the way I did at the restaurant, over stir-fried tofu and linguine, but I think it would taste great on chicken too. The leftover tofu was good with steamed broccoli for lunch the next day!
Peanut Sauce:
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 Tbps tahini (optional)
2 tsp minced ginger
1/4tsp chili paste
3/4 cup lite coconut milk
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1-2 cloves garlic (depending on the size)
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. You can add scallions, cilantro, or lime juice if you like (or all three!).
I stir fried my tofu first (it holds up better in a sauce), then added the sauce and cooked over medium-low heat until warmed through. The sauce thickens and reduces as it heats, so don't overheat it or it will reduce too much!
Leftover, the sauce may separate a little bit (the oils in the peanut butter), but it still tastes great.
