The January 2010 DC challenge was hosted by Cuppy of Cuppylicious and she chose a delicious Thai-inspired recipe for Pork Satay from the book 1000 Recipes by Martha Day.
I was excited about this challenge because it looked simple enough, and yet involved doing things that I normally would not think of :) I decided to go with tofu instead of pork or chicken or beef.
Satay Marinade
1/2 small onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cm piece of ginger
2 T lemon juice
1 T soy sauce
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
Directions
1. Puree all ingredients in the food processor (how easy is that?).
2. Marinade cubed tofu covered for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Saute the tofu on all sides till golden brown (I used avocado oil).
Peanut Sauce
3/4 cup coconut milk (6 oz or 180 mls)
4 Tbsp peanut butter (2 oz or 60 mls)
1 Tbsp lemon juice (0.5 oz or 15 mls)
1 Tbsp soy sauce (0.5 oz or 15 mls)1 tsp brown sugar (5 mls)
1/2 tsp ground cumin (2.5 mls)
1/2 tsp ground coriander (2.5 mls)
1-2 dried red chilies, chopped (keep the seeds for heat) {I used a pinch of cayenne instead}
1. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add soy sauce and lemon, mix well.
2. Over low heat, combine coconut milk, peanut butter and your soy-lemon-seasoning mix. Mix well, stir often.

Oh, that looks so delicious! I love tofu satay, but I've never made it. I'll have to give it a shot!
Hmmm, that look delicious Olga. Never made tofu sate before.
That does look good! I may even have to try it with tofu....I bet it was good.
That looks really interesting! I'm not really big on tofu, but yours looks like it might actually be a little crispy, which would be a good thing! Love your pictures.
This looks wonderful. Don't you love the peanut sauce?
Such great flavors in the marinade and sauce. And, it sounds fantastic with tofu!
I saw the pork version over at Natashya's but I have to say that tofu looks especially delicious. True, not the best idea for breakfast though!
Yum, I like the sound of tofu satay although I don't think I've had it before. Your serving dishes are so cute!
Great idea using tofu! lovely presentation.
Your tofu cubes look so perfect, I love tofu and it is a great backdrop for any marinade because it really absorbs flavors so well. Looks like you had a delicious meal.
I wanna try this with tofu (made the chicken version), yours looks so good! Lovely photos! Great job on the challenge :)
What pretty little cubes! :D They look like they came out perfect!!!!
And while your dishes are nice, I've got chopstick envy. Those are a beautiful finish.
You're not used to peanut sauce being warm? Really? Do you eat it cold? I mean; it tastes good warm or cold, but we never have it cold... Funny how that works..:))
Love your tofu satay! Tom is not a big fan of tofu, so I tend to stay with the chicken or beef versions..
Gorgeous photos Olga! Your satay looks simply delicious =D.
Awesome satay !! The photos and presentation both are lovely
I'm not a fan of tofu but that marinade might change my mind. Great pics!

Great job and you're making a believer out of me that tofu satay is delicious. Love the pics and presentation.
Your photos look great. Hope you are having fun with your new camera.
I haven't thought about making satay since I stopped eating meat, but that looks GREAT and I'm excited to try it!
Avocado oil? Yum!
