2. Place the cornflour and tofu in a bowl and mix carefully so that the tofu is completely coated
3. Place the tofu in a clean bowl and mix with 6 tbsp peanut sauce so that the tofu is marinated on all sides

Tip!

If you prefer the peanut sauce a little thinner, you can simply add a little more coconut milk.
