Pra Ram

This is a take on one of Natalie's favorite thai dishes, Pra Ram.  It's pretty simple and very delicious, especially if you like peanut sauce dishes.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb           Extra Firm Tofu
3/4 cup     Vegetable Broth
2 Tbsp      Soy Sauce
2               Carrots
2               Medium Zucchini
1 lb           Broccoli
12             Basil Leaves
4 Tbsp      Creamy Peanut Butter
1/4 cup     Non-Dairy Milk
1 Tbsp      Asian Sweet Chili Sauce
1 Tbsp      Honey or Maple Syrup
1 tsp         Lime Juice

Preparation

1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2 - While the oven is preheating, combine 1 Tbsp each of soy sauce and vegetable broth
3 - Cut tofu into 1/2 inch cubes and dip each cube into mixture, fully covering it, before place it on a baking sheet.
4 - Bake in oven for 15 minutes
5 - While tofu is baking, prepare vegetables.  Slice carrots, slice zucchinis into half moon pieces, and chop broccoli into medium-sized florets
6 - Cook vegetables (we prefer steaming them) until slightly crispy.  Put basil leaves in at the end, just long enough for them to wilt
7 - To make the sauce, heat the peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Whisk in the rest of the vegetable broth.  Add the milk, soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey and heat until bubbly.  Just before taking it off the heat, pour in the lime juice and mix.
8 - To assemble, place 1/4 of the vegetables and tofu onto a plate or bowl and then drizzle with 1/4 of the sauce.
