Tofu Satay Skewers
Tofu Satay Skewers are a delicious and protein-packed vegetarian dish that combines marinated tofu grilled to perfection and served with a rich peanut sauce. This meal is complemented by fresh cucumber, crushed peanuts, and a squeeze of lime, making it a well-rounded and flavourful option.
Ingredients
Tofu Skewers ingredients:
- 650 g firm tofu extra firm (Evergreen Hard Tofu is my go-to)
- ⅓ cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoon red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce/tamari
- 2 tablespoon water
Peanut sauce ingredients:
- ½ cup peanut butter natural, smooth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon red curry paste
- ½ cup water
- sea salt
Serve with (per serve)
- ½ cup cooked white rice
- ½ cucumer thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon peanuts crushed
- coriander leaves
- red chilli
- lime
Instructions
- Break up the tofu into small bite size pieces. Mix together the rest of the tofu skewer ingredients and marinated the tofu. You can marinate for a few hours or just cook them immediately. I don't notice a huge difference between the two.
- Place 4 - 5 pieces on bamboo skewers (I use the 16cm bamboo skewers from Woolworths)
- Bring a pan to high heat with a tablespoon of oil and grill the skewers until charcoaled and crispy.
- To make the peanut sauce, add all the ingredients to a small pot or pan over medium heat, mix well and simmer for a few minutes.
- Serve the tofu with the peanut sauce, rice, crushed peanuts, cucumber, chilli and coriander if you have it!
