Top-tip: There is no need to season dish with salt, as there should be enough from the soy sauce and peanut butter combined.
Pimp-it up with some protein-packed firm tofu. Before slicing tofu into cm chunks, press moisture out of tofu. Fry in separate pan on high heat until dark golden and crispy on all sides, add to dish in step 6. For extra perzazz marinade the tofu in a soy and syrup before.
