Ingredients

Tofu

8 wood skewers soaked in warm water for 20-30 minutes
1 extra firm tofu pressed with the water removed
1 Tbsp oil this is for the pan

Tofu Marinade

2 Tbsp soy sauce gluten free
½ Tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp garlic powder
2 tsp sriracha sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar

Spicy Peanut Sauce

2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
1/2 small lime juiced
1 Tbsp soy sauce gluten free
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp sriracha sauce add more for a spicy sauce
½ tsp rice wine vinegar

Instructions

Combine all the spicy peanut sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and mix. Set aside.
Cut your pressed tofu into 1 inch by 1 inch cubes.
Mix the tofu marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk. Toss or brush the marinade onto your tofu cubes. Save the leftover marinade to spoon onto your tofu as you cook it.
Skewer your tofu leaving a little space between each piece.
Preheat your pan or grill pan to medium heat. Once warm, add the oil and tofu skewers to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Brush additional marinade on top of the skewers, flip, and cook for 5 minutes or until the outside of the tofu is slightly crispy.
Remove skewers from the heat. Serve with the spicy peanut sauce, sesame seeds, fresh chopped cilantro, and rice.

Notes

This recipe will make 6 tofu skewers depending on how big or small you cut your tofu. The amount of skewers will also depend on how long your wood skewers are. I used a smaller size so they would fit in a medium bowl.
You can use a large pan to fry these tofu skewers or if you have a grill pan you can cook them that way. Just make sure to add oil to your pan before cooking them so they get that crispy outside.
Double the marinade sauce for extra flavorful tofu.
