Spiced Tofu and Vegetable Skewers with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Press 14 ounces of extra-firm tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

2. 2

   Whisk together 0.25 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a large bowl to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Add the 1-inch cubed tofu, 2 large bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges to the marinade, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

4. 4

   Thread the marinated tofu and vegetables alternately onto 8 pre-soaked wooden skewers, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.

5. 5

   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates before placing the skewers on the hot surface.

6. 6

   Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning them every few minutes until the tofu is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

7. 7

   Prepare the peanut sauce by combining 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter, 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional) in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.

8. 8

   Serve the Spiced Tofu and Vegetable Skewers immediately with the prepared peanut sauce for dipping.
