Soy-free Tofu Stir fry with Sunbutter Sauce. Chickpea Tofu with Nutfree Peanut Sauce! Allergy friendly 1 Pot Meal. Vegan Glutenfree Soyfree Nutfree Recipe.  Jump to Recipe

I love quick 1 Pot stir fry meals with creamy thai style peanut sauce. Add some veggies or tofu or some lentils and its a delicious meal!  Many of you avoid nuts or soy or both. So I went about making an allergy friendly version. The tofu here is chickpea flour tofu, no soy!. The Peanut sauce uses sunbutter, no nuts and no soy. This whole meal takes just minutes if you have already prepped chickpea tofu. Add veggies of choice and serve over grains or noodles!

Lets make this Stir fry with chickpea flour tofu and Peanut free Peanut Sauce! If you try it, let me know how it worked out.

You want to crisp up the chickpea tofu before adding to the sauce. That helps it hold its shape and also have better texture. Adding it directly to a hot sauce can make it a bit sticky.

Ingredients 
 

  • 2 tsp oil, divided
  • 1/2 recipe chickpea flour tofu, (1.25 cups cubed, or use firm tofu if using soy)
  • 1.5 cups veggies such as pepper, carrots, green beans, zucchini
  • 6 to 8 oz noodles or rice to serve

Sunbutter sauce:

  • 4 tbsp sunbutter, (sunflower seed butter), or use oeanut, almond or cashew butter for nut sauce.
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar, , optional
  • 2 cloves of garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp ginger, , chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk, + 1/2 cup water to rinse(used later)

Instructions 

  • Prepare your chickpea tofu if you havent already and chill for 15 mins then cube. Blend sunbutter sauce with 1/2 cup coconut milk and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. When it has heated, add cubed chickpea tofu and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. (You can toss the chickpea tofu in 1 tbsp cornstarch before roasting to make it crispier). Remove from the skillet. This helps the chickpea tofu hold shape and not get sticky in hot sauces. 
  • Add veggies and a teaspoon of oil and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Add a generous dash of black pepper and mix in. Then add the chickpea tofu.
  • Add the blended sunbutter sauce then use 1/2 cup of water to rinse out the blender and add the water to the skillet. Mix and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust salt and heat to taste. Add more water or coconut milk if it's thickening too quickly or for thinner consistency.(sauce thickens on cooling) 
  • Serve over noodles or rice, lettuce, with lemon/lime juice, sriracha or pepper flakes and cilantro. 

Notes

To make oilfree: omit the oil and use broth to saute veggies. Dry skillet to toast the chickpea tofu.

    My husband and I loved this recipe!! I tried it with peanut butter once and sesame paste another. The peanut butter version was definitely the winner. I used carrots and baby corn for the vegetables and they paired perfectly. Going to make this again in the same week ๐Ÿ™‚ thank you Richa, your recipes are always fabulous

  3. Ben says:

    A little confused. I should already have the chickpea tofu read correct? Prepare like the chickpea tofu recipe states then re cook it in this recipe?

  4. Suzy says:

    I am a little confused. I am sure I am just not seeing it, but, in step 2, you talk about “…before roasting…” but there’s no mention of roasting in the instructions other than this sentence. I usually find your instructions so straightforward and easy. What am I missing?

      Before the stir frying on the pan/ Toasting step.
