Description

This tofu satay served with peanut sauce is a delicious vegan version of the classic Asian appetizer.

Ingredients

3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce substitute
2 (8 ounce) containers extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
4 (8-inch) bamboo skewers
3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 lime wedges

Directions

1 Mix coconut milk, kecap manis, curry paste, turmeric powder, ginger, and vegan fish sauce together in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal and shake to mix.
2 Cut tofu into 2-inch pieces and place in the bag. Seal and shake to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
3 Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, chili-garlic sauce, kecap manis, lime juice, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Set aside.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
5 Remove the tofu pieces and tap to remove any excess marinade. Skewer an equal number of tofu pieces onto each skewer.
6 Grill the skewers on each side until browned, basting the skewers with the marinade as they cook, 10 to 15 minutes total.
7 Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers and serve with extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.
