But how much peanut butter?
I'm guessing that means 1 cup copied it from the magazine.0 -
I just saw this on recipe.com. The correct amount of peanut butter is 1/4 cup. Hope this helps.0

Thanks for the info on where to find the recipe. Nutritional info is a little different than what's posted above. Do you think the calorie count includes the rice or not? I'm guessing not.0

Glad to find the right amount of peanut butter here. Made for dinner tonight and used a cup of peanut butter and it was ridiculous. Looked like frosting on top of the tofu squares, no drizzle capability at all. Will try again soon! Thanks0
