How to Make Indonesian Style Tofu Satay

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture using a tofu press or by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Thread the tofu cubes onto 6-8 skewers.
  3. Arrange the skewers in a single layer in a baking dish.
  4. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Blend until completely smooth.
  5. Pour the marinade over the tofu skewers, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Bake the tofu skewers for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and heated through.
  8. While the tofu is baking, finely chop 2 green onions. Stir the chopped green onions into the reserved marinade.
  9. Serve the baked tofu satay immediately, drizzled with the remaining marinade. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, if desired.
