Spicy and very flavorful Thai Green Curry Tofu Skewers grilled to perfection and served with Peanut Sauce!
Servings: 8 Skewers
Ingredients
Thai Green Curry Tofu Skewers
- 1 Block Extra firm tofu
- 1 1/2 C. Coconut milk
- 2-3 tsp. Green curry paste
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to sprinkle on tofu
- Non stick spray
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 C. Peanut butter
- 1/4 C. Soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp. Rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 C. Water
- 1 Tbsp. Agave nectar
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. Ginger, grated
- 1 tsp. Chili paste or sriracha
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into rectangles, I cut mine in half through the side to make thinner. Now place on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Place more paper towels on top, and place something heavy on top. Press the tofu for at least an hour, but the longer the better.
- Now in a bowl, combine the coconut milk, green curry paste(use 2 tsp. if you want less spice and 3 tsp. if you want more spice) and lime juice. Add the tofu to the bowl, stir to coat and marinate the tofu. The longer the better. I marinated mine over night, but at least a few hours until you are ready for dinner.
- When ready for dinner, skewer the tofu onto bamboo skewers, I like to put 5 or 6 pieces on each, then either start the grill or heat a grill pan.
- Now make the peanut sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
- When the grill is hot, spray with non stick spray, grill the tofu skewers on each side for a few minutes until cooked through and they have nice grill marks.
- Serve immediately with the peanut sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
You need to soak your bamboo skewers before using, I would just soak them while you press and marinate the tofu.
It is best to marinate the tofu at room temperature because the coconut milk may solidify. However, if you want to place in the fridge, you can microwave for about 30 seconds to re-liquefy.
