Sweet Sesame Baked Tofu with Thai Peanut Sauce

This dish is so delicious, the tofu is slightly crispy and sweet. The Thai peanut sauce pairs so well with this meal. I like to pair it with jasmine rice and a generous amount of broccoli.

2. Cut pressed tofu into cubes and place in medium bowl. Add olive oil, agave syrup, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and  corn starch. Mix together and place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 30 min or until  tofu is golden brown on the outside.

3. For the peanut sauce add in all the ingredients into a small bowl, whisk. Add in more water or vegetable broth until desired consistency.
