👨🍳 Recipe Instructions:
- Begin by heating peanut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped fresh ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until the aroma fills the kitchen.
- Toss in the broccoli, carrots, and celery, sautéing for a delightful 5 minutes until the vegetables achieve the perfect crispness.
- Introduce the white parts of the green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and a splash of dry sherry. Sauté this colorful medley until the veggies reach a crisp-tender state, approximately 3 minutes longer.
- Incorporate the tofu, gently stirring until it’s heated through, approximately 2 minutes. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper, enhancing the flavors to your liking.
- Now, let’s prepare the star of the show – the Chinese Peanut Sauce! In a medium bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk in 1/2 cup of hot water, then add the remaining ingredients. Whisk vigorously to blend, creating a velvety sauce. Season with salt and pepper, allowing it to stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 1 day. This delightful sauce yields about 1 3/4 cups.
- In a large bowl, place the cooked spaghetti. Pour the Chinese Peanut Sauce over the spaghetti and toss until each strand is beautifully coated.
- Transfer the saucy spaghetti to a platter, creating the perfect canvas for the vegetable masterpiece.
- Top the dish with the sautéed vegetable mixture, creating a vibrant and inviting display.
- Sprinkle the finishing touch – roasted peanuts and the chopped green parts of the green onions – adding an extra layer of crunch and freshness to the dish.
