Indonesian Tofu Sate - 6g carbs, 2g fiber

 

1/4 cup kecap manis, (see Ingredient Note)

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

21 ounces (1 1/2 packages) extra-firm water-packed tofu, patted dry and cut into

1-inch cubes

1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons ketchup

1-2 teaspoons hot sauce

 

 

 

 

 

1. Combine kecap manis, soy sauce, garlic, oil, vinegar, cumin and coriander in

a small bowl.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a medium bowl. Place tofu in a large

sealable plastic

bag. Pour the remaining marinade into the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for

at least 2 hours

or overnight.

2. Add peanut butter, water, ketchup and hot sauce to taste to the reserved

marinade and whisk to

combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan or

baking sheet with

foil and coat with cooking spray.

4. Remove the tofu from the marinade and thread equal amounts onto six 12-inch

skewers. (If using

wooden skewers, cover the exposed end of each skewer with foil to prevent

burning.) Broil the

skewers until the tofu is heated through, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve the

satés with the

reserved peanut sauce for dipping.

TIP: Ingredient Note: Kecap manis is a thick, palm sugar-sweetened soy sauce.

It’s used as a

flavoring, marinade or condiment in Indonesian cooking. Find it in Asian food

markets or online at

importfood.com.

 

To substitute for kecap manis, whisk 2 tablespoons molasses with 2 tablespoons

reduced-sodium soy

sauce.

 

MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare through Step 2 up to 1 day ahead.

 

Versatile tofu readily absorbs the flavors in this Indonesian marinade, making

for flavorful

sates.
