Ingredients

¾ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 ½ 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 ½ tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 lime wedges

Steps:

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.
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.
Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, chili-garlic sauce, kecap manis, lime juice, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Set aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the tofu pieces and tap to remove any excess marinade. Skewer an equal number of tofu pieces onto each skewer.
Grill the skewers on each side until browned, basting the skewers with the marinade as they cook, 10 to 15 minutes total.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers and serve with extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.

MALAYSIAN BEEF SATAY

Malaysian Beef Satay image

Beef (or pork, or elk, or whatever) marinated in a coconut milk curry, grilled, and drizzled with satay sauce. From "The Essential Curries Cookbook" by Steer (2008). My roommate said, "I don't know what 'satay' is, but we need to make it more often!"

Time 50m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 lb beef steak, cut into long, thin strips (or other meat)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
2 red chilies, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed (or finely diced)
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
7 fluid ounces coconut milk
1 red chili pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 fluid ounces fish sauce
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1 tablespoon roasted peanuts, chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped

Steps:

If you're using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes prior to grilling so they don't burn.
Heat oil in a frying pan, add the fennel and fenugreek and fry until they start to pop (30 seconds to 1 minute).
Add the chillies, garlic, and curry paste. Fry another 2 minutes, stirring.
Remove from heat and mix in the coconut milk. Put mixture in a large ziploc with the meat and marinate at least 30 minutes (overnight is best).
Heat grill to high. Skewer the meat and grill 8-10 minutes or until cooked.
While meat is grilling, place red chile, lime juice, fish sauce, peanut butter, peanuts, and green onions in a small saucepan and heat.
