Malaysian Tofu Satay Recipes

Steps:

• Mix coconut milk, kecap manis, curry paste, turmeric powder, ginger, and vegan fish sauce together in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal and shake to mix.
• Cut tofu into 2-inch pieces and place in the bag. Seal and shake to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, chili-garlic sauce, kecap manis, lime juice, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the tofu pieces and tap to remove any excess marinade. Skewer an equal number of tofu pieces onto each skewer.
• Grill the skewers on each side until browned, basting the skewers with the marinade as they cook, 10 to 15 minutes total.
• Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers and serve with extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high heat.
• Put the first four marinade ingredients in a food processor and grind.
• Heat a nonstick pan, pour in the oil, then add ground mixture. Cook until fragrant (about 5 minutes).
• Combine the remaining marinade ingredients in a pot on the stove; add the cooked mixture.
• Bring to a boil and let simmer 5 minutes.
• Let cool, then pour over tofu and marinate for at least an hour and as long as overnight.
• Mix all satay ingredients together, except the water and tofu.
• Slowly add the water until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
• Grill tofu strips for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
• Put the skewers on a plate and pour some sauce over them. Serve with a bowl of extra sauce.

Steps:

• If you're using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes prior to grilling so they don't burn.
• Heat oil in a frying pan, add the fennel and fenugreek and fry until they start to pop (30 seconds to 1 minute).
• Add the chillies, garlic, and curry paste. Fry another 2 minutes, stirring.
• Remove from heat and mix in the coconut milk. Put mixture in a large ziploc with the meat and marinate at least 30 minutes (overnight is best).
• Heat grill to high. Skewer the meat and grill 8-10 minutes or until cooked.
• While meat is grilling, place red chile, lime juice, fish sauce, peanut butter, peanuts, and green onions in a small saucepan and heat.
