Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Cut the tofu into cubes, toss with flaky salt, ground black pepper, and cornflour, drizzle with a little sesame oil, and spread on a large lined baking tray. Bake for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

  3. 3

    Slice the mushrooms thinly and trim the green beans, then add the mushrooms to the tray with the tofu, drizzle with a bit more sesame oil, and continue baking for 15–20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Five minutes before the tofu is done, add the green beans to the tray to finish cooking together.

  5. 5

    Cook the rice according to package instructions, stirring in 1 tbsp butter for richness.

  6. 6

    In a jar, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and hot water. Shake until smooth, adding more water if needed and adjusting seasoning to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve the baked tofu and vegetables over the buttered rice, drizzle with the peanut sauce, and sprinkle with roasted peanuts.

Tips while you cook

Add green beans near the end
