Tofu Satay and Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

1 block firm tofu
wooden skewers (optional)
2 shallots
2 cloves garlic
1/2 inch ginger
3 stalks lemongrass
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon tamarind
3 tablespoons coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
water, as needed

Cut the tofu into thick strips and press.

Combine satay ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Marinate the tofu in the mixture a few hours or overnight.

If desired, skewer the tofu. Grill or oven roast until golden, basting with remaining sauce halfway through cooking.

Meanwhile, stir together the peanut sauce ingredients and add water to reach desired consistency.


Serve the satay with the peanut sauce, jasmine rice, and chopped green onion.
