Tofu Satay with Peanut Sauce

Tofu Satay

Looking for easy finger food, a quick snack, or your vegan friends coming over and you need a quick and easy vegan snack? try this easy and delicious Tofu satay recipe.

Satay is an Indonesian / Malaysian dish consisting of small pieces of meat grilled on a skewer and served with a spiced sauce that typically contains peanuts. The meat marinade is usually made with soy sauce, coconut milk, and various spices to add flavor. Taking the inspiration from this, I made Vegan satay with tofu using Finch sesame soy sauce.
