Hodo Organic Extra Firm Tofu is perfect for the grill. Unlike conventional tofu, our tofu holds well together on a skewer because of its high protein, low coagulant content. An outdoor grill is best, but an indoor grill pan works just as well. Make sure the grill is nicely heated and oiled to prevent sticking. And let grill-marks form, which will naturally release it from the grill.

Ingredients

• 2 (10oz) packages Hodo Organic Extra Firm Tofu, cut into small squares 1.5 x 2 X .5 inch locate product

• 48 bamboo skewers, soaked in water

Marinade

• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

• 2 tbsp rice bran oil

• 2 tbsp curry powder

• 1 tsp coriander, ground

• 1  tsp cumin, ground

• 2 tbsp fish sauce (substitute soy sauce or tamari for vegetarian-friendly)

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp kosher salt

Peanut Sauce:

• 2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

• 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste

• 2 tbsp fish sauce (substitute soy sauce or tamari for vegetarian-friendly)

• 1/2 cup palm sugar

• 1/4 cup tamarind concentrate

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

• 2 tsp sweet paprika

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced

Instructions

1. To make the satay: Whisk together marinade coconut milk, oil, curry powder, coriander, cumin, fish or soy sauce, sugar and salt into a paste.  Rub the paste over tofu slices.  Let rest 20 minutes.  Double up two skewer sticks and skewer 2 pieces of tofu per set of skewers.

2. Grilling the skewers: On a hot oiled grill/broiler on high, grill skewers – about 2 minutes on each side, or more depending on thickness, until grill marks form.

3. To make the dipping sauce:  Add all sauce ingredients into a small saucepan, whisk to combine and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until mixture is thick.   Serve satay with peanut sauce.

4. Makes 24 pieces

   Note: By using two bamboo sticks per skewer, the tofu will not rotate around the stick making it easier to turn the satay when grilling.
