Directions:

Slice tofu into 1/2-inch slices; place between several layers of paper towels. Place a cutting board on top and press down to remove as much water as possible; pat dry. Brush both sides of tofu lightly with soy sauce.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan; set aside.

Add chili paste, coconut milk, and carrots to pan; bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes or until carrots are just tender.

Stir in peanut sauce and cook 1 minute. Add tofu and cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with green onions.
