Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams Tofu
  • 3 tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tbsp Tamarind Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Black Sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp White Sesame Seeds
  • 1 tsp Coriander leaves

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Tofu: Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, and tamarind sauce. Add coconut milk, and mix well. Stir in lemon juice and optional ginger and garlic if using.
  • Cook the Tofu: Heat oil in a cast iron skillet. Skewer tofu pieces onto mini skewers and cook in the skillet until crispy on all sides.
  • Add Sauce: Pour half of the peanut satay sauce over the tofu while it cooks, and sprinkle with coriander. Continue cooking until the tofu is well-coated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Finish and Serve: Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve over steamed rice or enjoy as is.

Notes

  1. Press the Tofu: Ensure you press the tofu to remove excess moisture for a crispier texture.
  2. Adjust the Spice: Taste the sauce and adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level before cooking.
  3. Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the sesame seeds and coriander—they add great flavor and texture.
  4. Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or more coconut milk to loosen it.
