Air Fryer Tofu Satay

By

Tofu Satay cooks up incredibly quickly in the air fryer. It’s perfect dipped in my quick-and-easy, blender peanut sauce. Serve it as an appetizer or entree!

When I was a kid, we would go out for Thai food once a week, on average, and I so looked forward to Thai food night! My family orders big when we eat out, and we’d order mee grob, massaman curry, and at least one order of chicken satay.

This Tofu Satay is me trying to veganize that childhood favorite. It’s a perfect appetizer or even an entree, especially dipped in my easy, 5-Minute Peanut Butter Sauce.

Recipe type: Appetizer
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger no need to peel, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 block tofu see video, cut into strips
  • 1 batch 5-Minute Peanut Butter Sauce (Use the full 6 tablespoons of water that the recipe calls for.)
Instructions
  1. Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, ginger, sriracha, and garlic in your blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
  2. Pour the marinade over the tofu strips*, and marinate for 15-30 minutes. While the tofu marinates, soak 6 bamboo skewers in enough water to cover.
  3. When your marinating time is up, use a wire cutter to cut your skewers in half, so you now have 6 half-sized skewers. A full bamboo skewer won't fit into your air fryer basket, but these half-skewers will! Remove any splinters from the cut skewers, then, skewer 1 tofu strip onto each little stick. Make sure you are sticking the UNCUT side through your tofu. You do not need to eat any splinters today!
  4. Transfer the mini tofu skewers to your air fryer. Cook at 370F for 15 minutes, DO NOT SHAKE. While the tofu cooks, make your 5-Minute Peanut Butter Sauce, if you haven't already.
  5. When the air fryer beeps, you are ready to eat!
