Tofu Sate with Green Beans

Prep Time: 30min + 5h marinate

I have a love hate relationship with tofu. It’s pretty flavorless on it’s own. However if you marinate it well, it can give a nice chew to your plate. 

Preferably prepare the tofu the night before. Cut it into cubes and marinate it with soja sauce, pepper, chicken spices and some olive oil.

Clean the green beans and bring to boil until they’re well cooked. 

Stir fry the tofu cubes with the leftover liquid/spice mix that didn’t get absorbed during the marination. If there’s not enough, add some olive oil.

For the sauce: Heat olive oil, add crunched garlic, some onion chunks and chili powder. Add ketjap manis (use soja sauce if you can’t find ketjap), juice of one lemon and peanut butter to taste (go for the fresh homemade peanut butter without any additives) – I usually add 1-2 spoons. Make it boil and add a little bit more peanut butter or a tsp of flower to thicken the sauce if too watery. 

When serving pour the sauce over the vegetables and tofu cubes. I love to add some crunched peanut and coconut rasp for some extra crunch. 

Enjoy!
