Book Description

It's been the super food of the East for at least two millennia, and it's finally made a name for itself here. No matter what dish it's added to - from soups to desserts - tofu makes the meal healthier and better. On its own, this soft, white bean curd has virtually no taste, but it has a remarkable ability to "drink up" the flavors and seasonings it's marinated in. Plus, tofu comes in different textures, so it's a perfect substitute for meat, fish, cheese, or eggs.

ORDER/INFO

This Indonesian dish usually consists of strips of marinated meat or seafood grilled on skewers and dipped in peanut sauce. Here, the tofu steps in admirably to capture the exotic taste of the peanut sauce.

Serves 4 to 6

• 16 ounces extra-firm tofu, frozen, thawed, and cubed

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil

• 1 garlic clove, crushed

• 1 yellow and 1 red bell pepper, cut in squares

• 8 to 12 fresh bay leaves

• Sunflower oil, for grilling

• FOR THE PEANUT SAUCE:

• 2 scallions, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

1. Soak 8 to 12 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, then drain. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.

2. In a large bowl, combine the tofu soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes.

3. In another bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together until well blended, but still chunky.

4. Drain the tofu, and thread the cubes onto the soaked skewers with the pepper squares and bay leaves.

5. Brush the satays with oil. Broil or grill, turning the sticks occasionally, until the ingredients are browned and crisp.

6. Serve hot with the sauce.
