With tofu, peanuts, and coconut combined, I’ve come up with a refreshing summertime dish that pairs perfectly with tofu, cucumber ribbons, and mint. Slathering the skewers in the spicy satay sauce is a great way to make them taste incredible.

Contains:

Cut 1 block of firm tofu into your preferred shape and size

A long thin ribbon of a cucumber peeled | cut the cucumber into thin slices and don’t forget Capsicum!

Marinate the tofu as follows:

Peanut butter, 1 tablespoon

Add 3 tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce)

2 Tablespoons sesame oil

A couple of tablespoons of maple syrup

1 clove garlic, chopped 

The Satay Sauce contains the following ingredients:

Coconut milk, 1/4 cup

Peanut butter, 3 tablespoons

Lime juice, 1 tbsp

Two tablespoons of soy sauce

2 teaspoons maple syrup

Garlic clove, 1 small clove

Ginger garlic paste, according to your taste

You can add a touch of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like (optional)

Salt to taste

Follow these directions:

1. For 10-15 minutes, marinate the tofu in the marinade in a bowl.

2. In the meantime, thoroughly wash the cucumber off. From top to bottom, peel long, thin ribbons of carrot with a vegetable peeler. You should have a thin long cucumber strip. Snack on leftover cucumber sticks when you have leftover cucumbers.

3. Satay sauce is made by stirring together the ingredients.

4. Make skewers with the tofu marinated. Prepare wooden skewers by soaking them in water first.

5. You can lightly oil your skewers with a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil after placing them on your grill. 3-4 minutes on each side should be enough to brown the tofu.

6. The tofu cube should be removed from each skewer after it has cooked. Interchanging tofu and cucumber ribbons, begin threading cucumber ribbons. So that the cucumber can be threaded onto the Kebab, you will need to fold it back and forth several times.

7. Chop peanuts and drizzle sweet soy glaze over the salad. Alternatively, every Kebab can be dipped in satay sauce.
