If you can chop, stir, and sort of measure, you can make roasted tofu satay...that happens to be vegan.

Every time I go to the grocery store by my house (one of the grocery stores by my house, that is - I'm surrounded!), I end up with the lovely cashier named Lola...she's become intrigued by my purchases, and regularly asks what I'm making for dinner. Tonight she said she wishes she could make fancy things like roasted tofu satay...but really, it's so easy! If you can chop, stir, and sort of measure, you got this.

Marinade

2 tbsp Bragg's liquid aminos
1 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp white cooking wine
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 onion, chopped
1" ginger, minced

1/2 lb extra firm tofu - slice it about 1/2" thick and squeeze all the water out of it!
1 red bell pepper, chopped

Gently toss the tofu around in the marinate and let it soak in for at least 30 minutes - you can toss it around every once in a while to make sure it evenly distributes. Almost all of the marinade will end up soaking into the tofu. 

Sauce

3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2 dashes cayenne
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 1/2 tbsp Bragg's liquid aminos
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 minced onion
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup ish green onions, chopped

Mix the sauce up while the tofu is marinating! Whisk all the ingredients together, and taste and adjust accordingly. 

Put the tofu (and everything in the marinade dish) into a 9x9" ish pan, drizzle about 1/3 of the sauce on top, and top with sesame seeds (or, as I like to call them, SEXame seeds).

This is when you'll realize you forgot the green onions, so go ahead and chop those up and mix them in. 

Roast tofu for 25-30 minutes (or until golden brown) at 450 degrees.

Serve on top of jasmine rice, with a garnish of lime for extra squeezings...and, of course, all that leftover sauce is available to put on top! So delicious!!!!!!!

Split into four servings (not counting the rice)...

Update....maybe you should split this into two servings, instead...it's too delicious to not gorge yourself. I just ate the whole half pound of tofu myself.
