I strongly believe every meal needs a good sauce to elevate it. And not only does this Thai Peanut Sauce go with pretty much anything, it’s also so good you could drink it.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line tofu with paper towel or a kitchen towel and place on a plate. Place something heavy on top to drain water out of the tofu. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, or until the oven is heated.
Chop tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss tofu with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until crispy.
While tofu is in the oven, prepare vegetables. Roughly chop snap peas and bok choy. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large pan. Add vegetables and sauté for about 5-10 minutes, until soft and lightly charred. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add brown rice noodles. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-6 minutes, until soft. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine soy sauce, peanut butter, maple syrup, water, apple cider vinegar and minced garlic. Blend until smooth.
Assemble stir fry: add brown rice noodles, crispy tofu and sautéed veggies to a bowl. Add peanut sauce and mix well to combine. Serve immediately.
