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.

BAKED PEANUT BUTTER TOFU

Baked Peanut Butter Tofu image

Found this online a couple of years ago and it is probably my most made tofu recipe. Easy to prepare and delicious. Once you've made this, you can adjust individual ingredients to your liking. I sometimes add just a little more peanut butter. (Preparation time includes marinading time)

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

750 g extra firm tofu (I have used 500g succesfully)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup boiling water
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

Press as much moisture out of the block of tofu as you can.
Mix all other ingredients in a shallow baking dish.
If your marinade ingredients are not blending well together, try warming them just a little in the microwave. This will soften the peanut butter a bit and they should all blend well together.
Cut tofu into approx 1/4 inch (1 cm) slices.
Lay the tofu slices into the marinade and carefully turn to coat all pieces evenly.
Place into fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.
bake at 180C (350F) for 25-30 minutes.
