For my tofu I just cubed it and coated it with unsweetened coconut shreds which I bought in a bulk bin for $.36! And I have enough leftover for a second batch! I baked the cubes until crisp and then tossed them in the sauce.

Bang Bang Baby
I made a new to me recipe last night and it turned out AMAZING! It's called bang bang tofu. I guess there's a restaurant that is pretty famous for bang bang shrimp so this is a take on that. I used this recipe for the sauce, but I halved it because I didn't have a whole block of tofu.
This is the delicious sauce. I want to drizzle it on everything. This is competing with peanut sauce for that number one place in my heart!

I made some coconut rice with some of the coconut shreds to go along with the tofu. This was a really, really delicious meal. It tasted like something you would get in a restaurant, and I made it myself in under twenty five minutes! And all the ingredients for the sauce are staples in my fridge,so this was super inexpensive. I already want more!!

You've outdone yourself. That looks really, really good.
ReplyDeleteIt seriously blew my mind! I might make it again tonight with lettuce wraps!!

ReplyDeleteIt was incredible! I already want it again! I actually might have it again tonight!!
DeleteNICE! It DOES sound like it turned out AWESOME!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really did!
DeleteYay! I love discovering new to me awesome recipes! I’m too wimpy to enjoy this myself but i can see how it would be so popular. I bet you could just make a big batch of the sauce to keep on hand...

I do too! I bet this would be good with only sweet chili sauce. That would be a lot milder!
DeleteI actually think I will make a larger batch because it would be great on so many things. I thonk it might even be good in sushi!!
I know vegan mayo can get expensive, there are recipes out there using aquafaba and veg oil (or other neutral flavor oil) in a blender plus a bit of lemon or nooch and salt etc; prob worth it if you can’t find vegan mayo on sale.
DeleteSomething like this one

The sauce sounds really good, and the bowl looks perfectly delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a delicious meal!
DeleteI had never heard of Bang Bang until I made a recipe from a Robin Robertson book. I've only made it the once, but I liked it. I like your thought to use coconut shreds to coat the tofu!
