Veggies and Peaunt Sauce

This is another go-to weeknight recipe in our house. Just dump whatever veggies are around into a steamer and slather on the peaunt sauce. Oh yum.

ingredients

Veggies (sweet potato, kale, snow peas, peppers, broccoli, etc.)
Firm tofu
Brown rice
Peanut butter (preferable natural. Chunky or smooth)
Hoisin sauce
Water for thinning
Fresh ginger, grated
Hot sauce (preferably sriracha)
Soy sauce

directions

Put rice up to cook according to directions. Cut veggies into bite-sized pieces and steam until done 10-20 minutes(harder ones like sweet potato and broccoli take longer than snow peas and kale. Meanwhile make peanut sauce: mix equal parts peanut butter and hoisin. Add grated ginger, hot sauce, and soy sauce to taste. This whole thing works best if you taste several times as you go along. We like lots of ginger and a dash of soy. Sauce will be super thick. Add water a few Tbsp at a time mixing after each addition. I like to keep the sauce thick and creamy, more like a dipping sauce. Gabe likes it thinner poured over the whole mess of rice and veggies. Experiment and enjoy.
