Instructions
Make the Thai Tofu Satay Skewers
- Press the tofu to squeeze out excess water. Cut the tofu into small square cubes, roughly the same size. Wash the mushroom and cut into similar sizes with the tofu.
- Soak your skewers in cold water for about 10 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from burning while baking.
- In a bowl, combine the ingredients to make the satay marinade and mix well. Coat the tofu cubes and mushrooms with the marinade sauce and let them sit about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Place the tofu cubes and mushroom on the skewers. Use 4-5 pieces for each skewers.
- Place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.
Make the Thai Peanut sauce
- While the skewers are baking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, Thai red curry paste, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and water. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Once the skewers are ready, remove them from the oven and serve them on a plate with rice, cucumber slices, peanut sauce, and garnish with green onions or coriander and sesame seeds.
