Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain any excess liquid.
- Press the tofu to remove additional moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top. Let it press for at least 15 minutes.
- Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1/2 onion (roughly chopped), garlic cloves, and red pepper spice.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Place the tofu cubes in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour about half of the sauce over the tofu, making sure all the pieces are evenly coated.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for a few hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. You can also use a regular pan or broil the tofu in the oven if you prefer.
- Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Grill the tofu skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are heated through. Baste with any remaining marinade while grilling for extra flavor.
- Transfer the grilled tofu satay to a serving platter.
- Warm the remaining sauce gently in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Drizzle the warm sauce over the tofu skewers or serve on the side for dipping.
- Optionally, you can garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped peanuts, and lime wedges for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice, fresh salad, or as an appetizer.
Tips:
- Press the tofu before marinating to remove excess moisture, ensuring it absorbs the flavors better.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes or overnight if possible.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, onion, garlic, and red pepper spice until well combined.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the tofu from sticking.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or noodles and garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
