Ingredients

  • about 450 g Firm Tofu
  • 2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Ginger Powder
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • about 450 g Vegetable Skewers (Bell peppers, Onions)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place the about 450 g Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, cut the about 450 g Firm Tofu into 2.54 cm cubes.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tbsp Curry Powder, 1 tsp Turmeric, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 0.5 tsp Ginger Powder, 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil, and 1 tbsp Lime Juice. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth marinade.
  3. 3Add the 2.54 cm cubes of tofu to the marinade. Gently stir to ensure all the tofu cubes are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. 4While the tofu is marinating, prepare your about 450 g Vegetable Skewers (Bell peppers, Onions) by cutting them into bite-sized pieces suitable for skewering. Once the tofu has finished marinating, thread the marinated tofu cubes and the prepared vegetable pieces onto the skewers, alternating between tofu and vegetables.
  5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 176.7-204.4°C (175-200°C).
  6. 6Place the prepared skewers onto the preheated grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning the skewers every 2-3 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides, and the vegetables are tender.
  7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and serve them hot.
