Method:
  • Shred tofu and fry with little oil in a cast iron pan, until browned
  • Mix peanut butter, lemon juice, maple syrup, ginger, soy sauce, oil, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add water if necessary, consistency should be like a loose sauce
  • Toss fried tofu in a separate bowl with the peanut sauce until evenly coated 
  • In the meantime, mix all the wet ingredients for slaw in a bowl and pour over the shredded vegetables. Set aside to soften or use the linked coleslaw recipe (without the extra dressing)
  • Mix all the ingredients for the tangy sauce and set aside
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave and fill each one with the peanut tofu, top with slaw, and tangy sauce. Garnish with hot sauce, shredded cheese or cilantro leaves
Notes:

1 box of tofu makes enough for 2 servings, the slaw + peanut sauce + spicy mayo will make 4 servings. For the next day, shred and fry another box of tofu with the remaining peanut sauce and serve warm
