Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the tofu skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they have grill marks and are heated through.
While grilling, you can prepare the optional peanut dipping sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and Sriracha sauce. Add water as needed to achieve your desired dipping sauce consistency.
These Vegan Thai-Inspired Grilled Tofu Skewers are a fantastic appetizer or main dish. The peanut dipping sauce adds an extra layer of deliciousness but is optional if you prefer to keep it lighter. Adjust the Sriracha sauce to control the spice level to your liking. Enjoy!
