Peanut-Chili Silken Tofu

Thanks so much for giving it a try, Andrada, and for sharing the honest feedback 🫶 Can I confirm that silken tofu was used, rather than something like soft or medium firm tofu? Silken tofu has a very subtle taste, hardly noticeable especially alongside sauce, compared to soft or medium firm tofus which can have a more noticeable taste. That said, perhaps the intensity of taste varies from brand to brand, and if you ever give it another go, adding a bit more sauce (like you suggested!) is a great idea! Hope you enjoy some of our other recipes more 🤗

Yes, I used silken tofu. It's the first recipe that's not to my taste. I love the rest. Probably because I'm new to eating tofu 😅

Yeah that should be possible. I'd recommend lime because it's most common with the south east Asian flavours this dish has🍋‍🟩

Heyy Simran, thanks for the question! and totally agree, Wilma 🙌 we'd suggest starting with around the same amount of lime juice, then giving it a taste and adjusting if needed. Hope you enjoy it 💛

Thanks so much for the tip Wilma and PUL! 🌹

I scaled up the recipe to 8 serving since I’m making it for guests. Followed everything except for sweetness I used jaggery powder, which I reduced the amount than what’s suggested for maple syrup. However the sodium reduced soy sauce turned out to be too much..

I know it’s a scaling feature thingy which may not always be accurate in some recipes..

< I’m telling you the only reason I have the confidence to serve something I’m making for the first time is because it’s PUL’s recipe which never fails! Love the recipes! 😚❤️>

For anyone scaling up the recipe like me 😅, less is more.. Here’s what I did to mask the soy sauce..

To cover up the soy sauce taste, I added more lime, jaggery, water, 1/4 + 1 tbsp more of peanut butter..

Since I’m making this sauce ahead of time, I plan to leave it out of fridge for 1-2 hours to help loosen up the sauce, then add some water to make it pourable and taste test if the sauce could use some garlic powder to mask the soy sauce taste..

I’m looking forward to having this dish already, can’t wait! 👀

Hii Izzi! Chili crisp is a spicy chili oil with crispy bits of garlic, onion, and chili flakes mixed in. It adds a little heat and crunch to dishes. We usually find it in the International aisle of our local grocery store, but your local Asian supermarket would definitely carry it as well. We haven't tried making it ourselves before, although there's probably some recipes online! Hope you enjoy the tofu if you're able to give it a try 🫶

Heyy Rw, yes sure! 😊 Regular soy sauce is saltier than reduced-sodium soy sauce, so you could start with a little less and adjust to taste 🫶🏻

Whoop whoop! Thanks for the review, Nora 🤗 bringing it to a picnic sounds lovely 🥰

Ohh we're smiling from ear to ear, Marguerite! It means a lot that the recipe was enjoyed 🫶✨

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with this one, Phillipa ☺️
