Ingredients

  • 1 350-g pkg extra-firm tofu

  • 1 165-mL can coconut milk

  • 2 tbsp yellow curry paste

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp smooth natural peanut butter

  • 2 tsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • SOAK 8 wooden skewers in warm water for 20 min.

  • POKE holes all over tofu with a skewer. Pat dry with paper towels and cut into 3/4-in. cubes. Whisk coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, peanut butter and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add tofu and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 1 hr.

  • PREHEAT barbecue to medium. Shake excess marinade off tofu and back into the bowl. Divide marinated tofu and thread onto skewers.

  • SCRAPE marinade into a small saucepan and set over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until mixture reduces by half, 5 to 6 min. Set aside.
