Thai Recipe for Thai Vegetarian Tofu Satay
INGREDIENTS FOR THAI VEGETARIAN TOFU SATAY
- 7 ounces smoked tofu (cut into bite size)
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 8 to 12 bay leaves
- 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into squares)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into squares)
- oil for brushing
- about 8 to 12 satay or bamboo sticks
Ingredients for Satay Sauce
- 2 scallions (chopped fine)
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- a few drops of hot chili sauce (optional - omit if you don't like heat)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
TIP: Smoked tofu can be purchased in packages at any good health store. In order to not burn the satay
sticks on the grill, soak them overnight in water first.
If you do not have access to hot chilli sauce, consider using a generous pinch of chilli powder instead. Use
as desired.
- Place cut tofu cubes into a large bowl
- Add sesame oil, light soy sauce and crushed garlic
- Mix well, cover then set aside for at least 20 mins
- In another bowl, add all the ingredients for peanut sauce
- Mix together well with a spoon (see note below)
- Drain the tofu from the marinade and thread the cubes
- Alternate the tofu cubes between the bay leaves, yellow and red bell pepper squares
- Brush satay with oil and cook over hot grill till they become slightly brown and crisp
- Serve with the peanut sauce
NOTE: Althought it might seem easier to use a food processor or blender to beat the ingredients together, you don't want to do this as you want the sauce to have a slightly chunky texture.
