Thai Tofu Burritos With Peanut Sauce Recipes

THAI BURRITO RECIPE

Steps:

• either blending in a blender or whisking in a bowl ( if whisking, add the peanut butter last, adding a little at a time to incorporate).
• Blot the tofu gently, and cut into 6 slices (see photo), then cut each slice into two, to make 12 strips. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush all sides liberally with the peanut sauce, spooning a little extra over the tops. Bake 25-30 minutes. Save the remaining sauce for the burritos.
• The fastest way to make rice is using the pasta method. Boil 1/2 cup rice in 4-5 cups salted water, uncovered, drain when tender, using a strainer, letting stand in the strainer 5 mins. Fluff.
• cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce.
• , whisking in 2-4 tablespoons water with a fork to loosen them. Add a spoonful of garlic chili paste, Sambal Olek, or a squirt of sriracha to taste, to pep them up a bit. Keep them warm.
• Right before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. If you have a gas stove, use tongs, place directly on the gas grate, over medium flame, turning often with tongs. Otherwise, place in a single layer in the oven on the rack until soft and pliable. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Spoon some of the warm beans onto the tortilla creating a base, add rice, then tofu and veggies and herbs. Spoon some peanut sauce over top, and optional peanuts or peanut chili crunch, and wrap up tightly. ***I've found it easiest to eat with foil wrapped around the bottom half to keep these big boys all together.

TOFU SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
