📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish pairing Japanese atsuage (thick fried tofu) with the sweet-savory peanut sauce essential to satay skewers in Indonesia and Malaysia. The sauce is just peanut butter mixed with soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice, and it suits the richness and toastiness of the tofu. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Late at night after work, peanut sauce is drizzled over toaster-crisped fried tofu and nibbled with a beer.
