This easy ginger peanut butter sauce comes together in minutes in the blender. Pour it on all of your food!
My peanut butter tofu was a hit at Atlanta Veg Fest last month! There were samples of tofu baked in this sauce at my table, and I loved watching skeptical looks turn to delight. “Peanut butter sauce? Sounds weird,” quickly became “Oh my gosh, that’s amazing!” Hurrah!
Since so many folks loved this recipe, I wanted to share it here along with a special 15% off discount code for Bowls.
You can use the code holidaybowls for 15% off of the print or e-book version from now until December 17. That’s also my cutoff for Christmas orders of the print version. I want to be sure that everything gets to you guys in time!
Atlanta Veg Fest Mini Wrap-Up
Speaking of Atlanta Veg Fest! The fest was last month, and guys. It was magical. I spent the whole day eating and talking about delicious vegan food with amazing folks from all over the country. I thought it would be fun to share a few Veg Fest highlights before we get to the peanut butter sauce recipe! Here they are, in order of appearance:
- Discovering when I arrived that my booth neighbor was the fabulous Cafe Sunflower! I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.
- Scoring some Upton’s Jackfruit! It’s not in stores yet here in Atlanta, but I got the BBQ and Chili Lime at the fest. YESSSS!
- Meeting the fabulous Hope Hughes and David Powell from Curiously Veg. David told me that he keeps a copy of Bowls on his kitchen counter, because he uses it so often on busy weeknights! The best compliment ever.
- Seeing pictures of my son, Darrol Henry, dancing with the GARP cow (thanks, mom!).
- Talking to one of the organizers from the brand new Nashville Veg Fest, coming in 2016! She was there with her toddler, and it was so nice to chat with her.
- Meeting Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. She is such an inspiration, and when I gave her a copy of my book, she cried and hugged me. It was the last thing that happened at Veg Fest, and what a great way to end the day!
A million thank yous to the organizers, fellow vendors, and attendees. You all made it such a special day for everyone there. It’s truly my favorite event of the year.
And here’s the peanut butter sauce recipe! If you want to make the Peanut Butter Tofu that I had at Veg Fest (also a recipe from Bowls), just press and slice a block of extra firm tofu, arrange in a greased glass pan, pour the sauce over, and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
