    My notes and deviations from the recipe are in parentheses. See the pictures for the original version.

    #Peanut Sauce: make 2 batches
    * ¼ c smooth peanut butter (no sugar added)
    * 2 cloves garlic
    * 1½ t minced ginger (preground paste)
    * 3 T water
    * 1 T agave or maple syrup (reduced to half)
    * 1 T soy sauce (reduced sodium)
    * 1 T rice vinegar
    * Red pepper flakes to taste
    Blend everything thoroughly.

    #Fried Tofu
    * 14 oz block extra firm tofu
    * 2 T soy sauce (reduced sodium)
    * ¼ t black pepper
    * 1½ T toasted sesame oil
    See picture for panfrying instructions. My method:
    Drain tofu. Press out excess water. Cut into cubes. Preheat airfryer to 400°. Place into lined basket in a single layer. Cook 6 minutes, flip, then another 6 minutes.

    #Udon Noodles with Peanut Sauce
    * 1 lb pre-cooked udon noodles (8oz dry)
    * 2 batches of the above Peanut Sauce
    * 1 bunch green onions (sub cilantro)
    * ¼ c sesame seeds (black)
    * ¼ c chopped peanuts
    Cook noodles per package instructions. Drain. Stir in sauce, sesame seeds, peanuts, and green onions (cilantro). Top with tofu cubes.

    The author recommends serving with a side of steamed vegetables. We oven roasted some baby carrots with yellow and orange bell peppers and mixed those in.
