Tofu marinade
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce, gluten free
- 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp sriracha

Spicy peanut sauce

Preparation
Soak the wood skewers in warm water for 20-30 minutes.
Press the tofu to remove excess water.
Combine all the spicy peanut sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and mix, then set aside.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Mix the tofu marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk.
Toss or brush the marinade onto the tofu cubes and save any leftover marinade.
Skewer the tofu cubes, leaving a little space between each piece.
Preheat a pan or grill pan to medium heat, add oil, and cook the skewers for 5 minutes.
Brush additional marinade on top, flip, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the outside is slightly crispy.
Remove the skewers from the heat and serve with the spicy peanut sauce, sesame seeds, fresh chopped cilantro, and rice.
