This vibrant vegan dish features golden tofu triangles simmered in a luxuriously creamy nut butter sauce.

It is a wonderful way to elevate plant-based protein, offering a satisfying texture and a rich, nutty finish that feels truly indulgent while remaining incredibly simple to prepare.

Perfect for a quick midweek supper or a healthy weekend lunch, this versatile recipe works beautifully with peanut, cashew, or sesame butter depending on your preference. Serve it alongside steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried greens for a complete meal. The fresh crunch of sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds adds a lovely brightness and professional touch to this homemade favourite.

How to make Tofu Triangles in Creamy Nut Buttter Sauce with Spring onions

  1. Slice the tofu crosswise into scant 1/ 2-inch slabs, then cut each slab into 2 triangles. Blot with paper towels.

  2. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet and add the oil. When hot, add the tofu and fry over medium-high heat until golden. Turn and cook on the second side.

  3. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for salt and add a little extra, if needed.

  4. When the tofu is done, pour in half the sauce and cook until bubbling and partially reduced.

  5. Turn off the heat, scatter the spring onions and sesame seeds over the top, and bring to the table.
