Vegetarian Only - Chili Spiced Tofu Satay

Posted by Chantel M. Recipe contributed  By Mahirsyah Wellyan Twh

Satay is an Indonesian and Malaysian dish consisting of small pieces of meat grilled on a skewer and usually served with spiced sauce. Chicken meat, lamb, and beef are the three common meats used in this exotic food. Other meat, including fish and pork are also used rarely. Vegetarians can also enjoy the taste of satay, but they have to substitute the meat with other ingredients, like tofu.
Tofu is a curd made from mashed soy beans, used chiefly in Asian and vegetarian cookery. Soy beans are rich in protein, have no cholesterol, and the great source of isoflavone. Many researches have proven that tofu could be used as an alternative meal instead of meat as a protein resource, so tofu satay is a suitable choice for vegetarians.
To make tofu satay, you have to prepare these ingredients first:

1. White tofu, 600 grams, chops into small boxes about 2x2 cm.
2. Water, 100 cc.
3. Salt, 1 teaspoon.
4. Garlic, 3 slices, pounded.
5. Skewer
6. Orange leave, 2 leaves, remove the bone, cut into pieces.
7. Sugar, 1 teaspoon.
8. Frying oil, 4 tablespoons.

The spices consist of these ingredients:

1. Onion, 4 pieces.
2. Garlic, 3 pieces.
3. Candle nut, 4 pieces.
4. Red chili, 4 pieces.
5. Small chili, 2 pieces.
6. Pepper, a quarter teaspoon.

1. Dissolve the salt and garlic into the water. Immerse tofu boxes in it for 15 minutes.
2. Pierce the tofu boxes into skewer. Grill until they are half-cooked.
3. Fry the spices and orange leaves with oil. Add salt and sugar. Stir well.
4. Pour it into tofu. Grilled until they are cooked. Put them in a dish.
5. Add water (50 cc), salt (a quarter teaspoon), and sugar (a quarter teaspoon) into the remainder of the spices. Cook until it is done.
6. Pour it into the satay in the dish. It is ready to be served.

In order to get the best result, do not grill satay too long. Grill them until they just change to a darker color. To avoid the skewer from being burnt, simply immerse the skewer into the water for 30 minutes before usage. Tofu satay is best served with tomato and onion slices spread over it.
