TOFU MARINADE
1/2 c. soy sauce (low salt)
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/3 c. oil
2 tbsp. peanut butter
2 tbsp. ketchup
Slice tofu. Coat with marinade for at least 1 hour. Broil, saute or grill.
2 lbs. of extra firm organic tofu
For marinade:
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 cloves garlic
1-1/2 TBS curry powder
Peanut Sauce:
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1-1/2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS chili flakes, or to taste
1 TBS ground coriander
1/3 TBS ground cumin powder
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 14 oz. can coconut milk
3 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS soy sauce
Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir. Separate the tofu into four pieces and marinate for at least one hour or overnight. In the meantime, make the peanut sauce: Dice the onions and chop the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a pan and saute onion, garlic and chile flakes until tender. Add coriander, cumin and cook for 5 minutes longer. Stir in peanut butter and coconut milk and heat through. Add brown sugar, lemon juice and soy sauce and stir until sugar dissolves. Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare a medium-hot fire on the grill, or pre-heat a gas grill. Take the tofu pieces out of the marinade and place on direct heat of the grill, about five minutes per side. Turn the tofu pieces a few times to mark them, making sure you are heating through the tofu.
Warm the peanut sauce in a microwave oven, or heat on top of the stove on low heat, stirring for a few minutes. Arrange tofu pieces on a plate and serve with the peanut sauce poured over it, or in a ramekin dish at the side.
