Crispy Tofu Skewers & Satay Dipping Sauce
A favourite plant based appetiser in my kitchen, these skewers certainly redefine what a plant-based starter is normally thought to be! A crispy skewer and a moreish dipping sauce that you won’t be able to get enough of! These are also great on the BBQ.
Crispy Tofu Skewers & Satay Dipping Sauce
A crispy skewer and a moreish dipping sauce that you won’t be able to get enough of!
Serves:
6
Prep time:
20 minutes
Cook time:
15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 600g block tofu
- ¼ cup tamari
- 3 tbsp coconut oil OR ghee
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- ¼ cup mint, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Satay Dipping Sauce
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp tamari
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey OR maple syrup
METHOD
- Slice the tofu into long rectangles, about 2cm thick. Carefully skewer these onto skewers, pushing them all the way up but stopping just before it breaks through.
- Place skewers into a tray and pour over tamari to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl, along with 1 tbsp (10ml) of water and set aside.
- To cook the tofu, carefully place the coconut oil or ghee in a large pan on a high heat. You want to bring the oil up to a high temperature. You can test this by splashing a drop of water into the pan. You want to hear a sizzle.
- Carefully, using tongs, place the tofu skewers in the pan and cook on each side for about 5 minutes until nice and crispy. Pour over any remaining tamari.
- Serve with cucumber, chopped mint, sesame seeds and satay dipping sauce.
