PEANUT COCONUT TOFU BOWL

Tofu in a green bowl

Have you ever made a dish that transported you to a favorite restaurant?

That’s what this Coconut Peanut Tofu bowl did. I am not being braggy when I say “damn this was good!!”
It was sooooo easy to make. If you’re not into tofu, you can substitute chicken with no problem.
Make sure you save this post, so you can make it later!
