Preheat oven to 425F. Cube your pressed tofu and place in an airtight container with the cornstarch, tamari, oil, thyme and garlic. Seal the container and give it a few gentle shakes until the tofu is evenly coated.

Place the seasoned tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip the tofu and then bake for an additional 8 minutes or until the tofu is crisp and golden.

While the tofu bakes, make the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, add the peanut butter, tamari, syrup, sriracha, lime juice and zest, sesame oil and seasonings. Give it a whisk until it starts to thicken then slowly whisk in the water a tablespoon at a time until it becomes a creamy sauce. Use this time to also thaw your edamame and prepare your rice/quinoa.

Place the tofu in a bowl or storage container and pour over the peanut sauce. Fold the tofu into the sauce until fully coated.

Serve the tofu how you wish. I placed mine over a bowl of rice, edamame, and cucumbers. Then top with scallions and sesame seeds and enjoy.
