To begin making the Grilled Tofu Satay Recipe with Peanut Dipping sauce prep all the ingredients and keep ready

To make the peanut dipping sauce, into a saucepan add coconut milk, ginger, garlic, peanut butter, red chilli sauce, brown sugar and soy sauce and whisk until well combined. Keep stirring until well combined and you will have a thick sauce. Finally stir in the lemon juice and turn off the heat. Transfer to a bowl and keep aside.

To marinade the tofu, in a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, dried basil, brown sugar, garlic powder, mix well, dunk the tofu slices in this marinade and set aside for 30 minutes. 

Heat a grill pan on medium flame and grease generously with oil, place the tofu and cook gently on both sides for about a minute each, ensuring it's cooked and there are grill marks on it. Keep adding more of the marinated sauce over it to help absorb the flavours.

Once done, remove from the pan and set aside. 

To serve the grilled tofu satay, place an iceberg lettuce leaf on the counter top, sprinkle salt and pepper, place one slice of the tofu, spread a generous layer of the peanut dipping sauce, sprinkle a few chopped spring onion greens and crushed peanuts and serve hot.
