Ingredients
- 9 oz (250 g) firm tofu or vegan chicken
Satay Marinade
- 1 stalk lemon grass minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tbsp coconut milk or water
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp red curry paste
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Satay Sauce
- ¼ cup (50 g) peanut butter
- ¼ cup (50 ml) coconut milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tbsp lime juice
- ½ tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Satay Skewers: Cover the tofu in a paper towel and press to remove excess water (or use a tofu press). Cut the tofu into cubes. → This step only applies for the vegan tofu satay.
- Mix all ingredients for the satay marinade in a bowl.
- Add tofu or vegan chicken to the marinade and toss well. If you have time, let it sit for 30 minutes or longer.
- Add marinated tofu (or vegan chicken) to wooden skewers. → You can also fry the tofu in a frying pan without skewers, if you don't have any at hand.
- Heat a skillet with 1 tbsp of oil and fry skewers on both sides for 5 minutes.
- Satay Sauce: Mix all satay sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve satay skewers with the satay sauce!
Notes
Satay Marinade: The marinade is enough for either about 9 oz of tofu or about 7 oz of vegan chicken (a little more or less is fine). If you want to cook both, double the marinade.
Red Curry Paste: Often contains shrimp paste or fish sauce. Make sure to use a vegan brand!
Storage: Leftovers can be stored for 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy cold or reheat in a skillet. The sauce thickens a bit in the refrigerator, dilute with a few drops of water before serving.
