Directions
Preheat oven to 375°.
Prep tofu. Completely drain tofu & slice horizontally, wrap in a kitchen towel, place on a cutting board & top it with something heavy like cook books to drain out the tofu even more. Let that sit 15-20 min.
For the marinade, mix together sauce, honey, & lime—adjust flavors to your liking.
Return to tofu, slice blocks into cubes and toss with the marinade. Let the tofu sit for a bit while you move onto prepare the coating.
Make the coating. Combine seasonings into your flour about 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp each, continue to taste test and adjust.
Spread the breaded tofu on a baking sheet and enter into oven—cook for 20 minutes until tofu is crispy and golden.
If enjoying the peanut sauce, to prep, you can add to a small mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until well-combined. Add water or broth as needed to make creamy smooth.
