Drain the water from the tofu with paper towels. If you don’t drain the water enough they won’t soak up the marinade as well. Slice into long pieces. Place a stick in the middle inside each. Place the tofu skewers into a baking dish. You want to get into the center as much as you can, otherwise they will tear.

Marinade: Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish or blender. Pour over the skewers, cover, and chill overnight for best results.

Heat a griddle or grill on high heat, add a drizzle of neutral oil and place tofu skewers on the griddle for 3 minutes undisturbed. Then flip and cook the other side. You can continue to cook all sides or set aside.

Dipping sauce: Place all the ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth. Adjust seasonings as desired.

Serve tofu skewers with peanut sauce, garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts.
