Before you start

Soak the wooden skewers for about 15 min before use to prevent them from burning while on the grill.

Method

  1. Crush half of the garlic cloves, then place them into a bowl. Add half of the soy sauce and the sesame oil. Cut the tofu into bite-size cubes then add them to the bowl. Mix well, cover and let marinate on the countertop for about 20 min.
  2. While the tofu is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce : finely chop the scallions and the remaining garlic cloves then put them in a small bowl. Pour in the white vinegar and remaining soy sauce. Add the sugar, peanut butter, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Prepare the peppers, seed them and cut them into squares. Drain the tofu then thread the cubes onto the skewers, alternating with the peppers. Brush the satays with a little canola oil and place them on a hot grill or under the broiler. Cook 4-5 min, turning them occasionally, until the tofu and peppers are browned and crisp.
  4. Serve immediately with the peanut sauce.
