Ingredients:





     1 lb Tofu; firm


     4 tb Peanut butter


     2 tb Tamari; or more to taste


     1    Garlic clove (or more);


          --pressed


     1 c  ; water


 1 1/2 tb Arrowroot






 Cut the tofu into small rectangles about 1/4--1/2" thick.


 


 In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, tamari, and garlic. Slowly


 stir in the water. Mix well.


 


 Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish and pour the liquid over it. Let


 the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes. If desired, you may leave it for


 several hours or overnight. In this case, keep it refrigerated while it is


 marinating.


 


 When you are ready to cook, remove th pieces of tofu from the marinade and


 place them on a well-oiled cookie sheet. Reserve the liquied to make the


 sauce.


 


 Bake at 375 deg for 30-45 minutes, or until the desired crispness is


 reached (the longer the tofu bakes, the crisper it becomes).


 


 Mix the arrowroot with the remaining marinade. Place the mixture in a


 saucepan and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce


 thickens.


 


 Place the baked tofu on a bed of cooked grains (rice, millet, buckwheat or


 even pasta). Cover with the sauce.


 


 Serve with steamed or stir-fried vegetables and a salad.
