Tofu French Fries w/ Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce

These are suprisingly tastey little treats, or great even served as an entree or appetizer. Loaded with healthy protein, low in carbs & sugar, and it's quick & easy to make them. Even the little ones will like these crispy "fries" and their yummy peanutty dipping sauce. Just make sure you don't go overboard on the cayenne if making them for small children.
People who "hate tofu" will like these and not even realize they're eating tofu.


Ingredients :

2 lb firm tofu
3 tbl vegetable oil
kosher salt to taste
5 tbl smooth peanut butter (natural)
3 tbl Brown Sugar Twin
4 tbl tamari soy sauce (if this is not available, use Kikkoman)
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbl water, to 2 tbsp


* Cut the tofu into pieces the size and shape of french fries. Brush the pieces lightly with the oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Spread in 1 layer on a cookie sheet and place under the broiler. Broil both sides for about 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
* Mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar twin, tamari, cayenne, and garlic. Add enough of the water to give the sauce a creamy consistency. Use as a sauce or dip.
* Serves 8 as an entree.
