Ingredients

Creamy Peanut Sauce

  • 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
  • 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

Directions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 5
Remove the tofu pieces and tap to remove any excess marinade. Skewer an equal number of tofu pieces onto each skewer.

Step 6
Grill the skewers on each side until browned, basting the skewers with the marinade as they cook, 10 to 15 minutes total.

Step 7
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers and serve with extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.

Cook’s Note:

If you like, cook the cubes before skewering, so they cook on each side to increase the crunchy texture. You can also use a griddle instead of a grill.
