Servings: 4 servings
Author: Taylor Ellingson

Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce block extra firm tofu (not silken)

For the tofu marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon fish sauce
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 4 ounces GO VEGGIE Plain Cream Cheese
  • ⅓ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper stem and seeds removed and cut into 1" chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper stem and seeds removed and cut into 1" chunks
  • 1 orange bell pepper stem and seeds removed and cut into 1" chunks
  • 1 small zucchini cut into ~¼" half-rounds

Instructions

To marinate the tofu:

  • Cut the block of firm tofu into ~1" squares.
  • Combine all tofu marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour over tofu squares and stir gently to cover.
  • Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

To make the peanut sauce:

  • Combine all peanut sauce ingredients in a small food processor and blend until well combined.
  • Set aside/refrigerate until ready to use.

To assemble the skewers:

  • If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 20 minutes prior to grilling.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Toss bell peppers and zucchini in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Thread bell peppers, zucchini, and tofu onto skewers. I ended up having more veggies than tofu, so I had a few skewers that were just veggies. No big deal - just do whatever pattern or ratio of tofu to veggies that you'd like!
  • Place on grill and cook for ~15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
  • Once cooked, they should have visible grill marks but not burnt. If you find they are getting too charred, turn your heat down.
  • Remove from grill and serve with peanut dipping sauce.
  • Enjoy!!
