Como fazer Thai Lemongrass Tofu Skewers
- Press the tofu: Place the block of tofu between two plates or cutting boards, adding a weight (like a jar of water) on top. Let it sit for at least 1 hour to remove excess water. Once pressed, cut into 16 cubes.
- Make the lemongrass paste: In a food processor, combine 2 stalks lemongrass (roughly chopped), 2 shallots (roughly chopped), and 1 inch ginger (peeled and roughly chopped). Process until a smooth paste forms.
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons water. Divide the mixture in half – one half for the marinade, and one half for the dipping sauce.
- Marinate the tofu: Add the lemongrass paste to the half of the soy mixture reserved for the marinade. Stir to combine. Add the tofu cubes, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1 cup snap peas. Toss gently to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Prepare the grill: Oil the grill grates and preheat to medium heat.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread 4 tofu cubes, 5 green onion pieces, and 5 snap peas onto each of 4 skewers.
- Grill the skewers: Place skewers on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned.
- Assemble lettuce cups: While skewers are cooking, prepare lettuce cups. Wash and prepare your lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or similar).
- Serve: Transfer the grilled skewers to a platter. Let each person assemble their own lettuce cups: place skewer contents into a lettuce leaf, add fresh mint leaves, basil leaves (about 1/4 cup total, chopped), and chopped peanuts (about 1/4 cup) to taste. Roll and dip into the reserved dipping sauce. Garnish with extra chili sauce if desired.
