I added freekeh to my beloved wild rice soup in its place. To make the soup even heartier, feel free to add chopped cooked chicken.

| Yield: | 4 skewers |
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon curry paste
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce substitute
- 2 (8 ounce) containers extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 4 (8-inch) bamboo skewers
- 3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 2 ½ tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
- 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.
- If you like, cook the cubes before skewering, so they cook on each side to increase the crunchy texture. You can also use a griddle instead of a grill.
Reviews
This was easy compared to some Thai inspired recipes and was very yummy and a generous portion. I ate it the first night with noodles and vegetables and the second night with rice and vegetables. I made it in the broiler as it is winter and not BBQ weather.
