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.
Soy-free Tofu Stir fry with Sunbutter Sauce
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.

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 🙂 thank you Richa, your recipes are always fabulous
That’s awesome! Thanks for the great review! 🙂
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?
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.
