-----TANGY DIPPING SAUCE-----
2 tb Sugar
1/4 c Water
3 tb White or red wine vinegar
1/2 tb Soy sauce
1/4 ts Red chili flakes

1 tb Roasted peanuts; chopped
-----SPICES-----
4 tb Peanut oil
2 tb Dry sherry

2 ts Brown sugar
Drain the tofu & place the cakes between several layers of paper
towels. Weight the top with a heavy plate & leave for 1 to 3 hours.
While draining, prepare the Satay Sauce & Dipping Sauce.
Satay sauce:
Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion & garlic until
the onion is wilting, approximately 2 minutes. Add curry powder &
cook for 30 seconds. Add coconut milk, spy sauce, sugar, pepper,
lemongrass & peanut butter. Cook over very low heat, stirring
constantly, for 5 minutes.
Dipping sauce:
In a small pot, over low heat, dissolve sugar in the water. Remove
from the heat & stir in the vinegar, soy sauce & dried chili
flakes. When completely cool, add the carrot & peanuts & serve.
When the tofu has drained, slice each cake lengthways into 4 strips.
In a food processor, combine oil, lemongrass, garlic, curry powder,
chili pepper & sugar & process until smooth. Pour this mixture over
the tofu strips, toss gently to coat the pieces & marinate for an
hour at room temperature.
Soak 16 wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes. Carefully insert two
wooden skewers parallel & 1" apart into each tofu slice. Oil the
grill. On a closed grill over medium-hot coals, grill the tofu,
turning once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with Satay
Sauce & Dipping Sauce.
