Roasted Shan Tofu and Vegetable Skewers with Tamarind Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shan Tofu, cubed
• 2 Bell Peppers (various colors), cubed
• 1 Red Onion, cubed
• 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tamarind Paste
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2Carefully thread the 1 lb of cubed Shan tofu, the 2 cubed bell peppers, the 1 cubed red onion, and the 1 pint of cherry tomatoes onto your skewers, alternating the ingredients.
3. 3In a small saucepan, combine the 2 tablespoons of tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer gently and thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
4. 4Place the prepared skewers on a large baking sheet. Brush all sides of the skewers evenly with the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time, until the Shan tofu is lightly golden and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. 5During the last 5 minutes of the roasting time, remove the skewers from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared tamarind glaze. Return them to the oven and continue to roast for the remaining 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
6. 6Serve the roasted Shan tofu and vegetable skewers warm.
