Description
Tofu Satay with cauliflower rice
Ingredients
Satay skewers recipe here
Cauliflower fried rice
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup crushed peanuts
- 2 tbsp spoons of soy sauce
Peanut butter sauce
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sriracha
Instructions
- Open tofu from pack, drain water, and pat dry. Cut into large rectangles.
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl, or bag and place tofu inside. Let marinade for 4-24 hours. Remove from marinade and gently slide onto your skewers.
- Grease your grill (medium high heat) or bbq, and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Chop your cauliflower into large pieces. Place in the food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add spring onions first and cook for 2 minutes. Next add the cauliflower, red pepper, and celery, and cook for 5-6 minutes, on medium heat. Add your soy sauce and crushed peanuts. (Depending on the size of your cauliflower you may want to add more or less soy sauce.)
- To prepare your peanut butter sauce, mix melted peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and Sriracha in a bowl.
- (Optional) Serve this dish with fresh cilantro and lime.
Tips & suggestions
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if needed
- If you like regular rice, you can go ahead and use that instead of cauliflower!
- If you love this you’ll also love 15 minute lemongrass tofu!
This was such a good combo and was super satisfying but still felt really light. The sauce on the tofu is what makes it, honestly. I wasn’t sure how the cauliflower rice would turn out but it soaked up all the flavor and worked way better than I expected.
This looks great, Jess! Can’t wait to try it once Winter is gone. But, how do you “melt” peanut butter? Could you explain that part? In a saucepan or something? Thanks…
Hi Marissa, you can melt it in a pot on the stove or in the microwave!
