Ingredients

¼-1/3 cup fresh orange juice (roughly 1 orange)
2 Tablespoons red curry paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, agave or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 cup peanut butter (or sub almond butter!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
16-ounce block tofu (extra firm), cut into 12 strips, see photos.
salt
1-2 cups cooked rice- brown rice, black rice, etc.
14-ounce can refried black beans, seasoned with chile paste or sriracha.
1 cup shredded cabbage (or finely sliced)
1 cup shredded carrots (or match stick)
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 large avocado, sliced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves or Thai basil
4 extra-large, whole grain tortillas, warmed until pliable.
optional: crushed roasted peanuts, or Peanut Chili Crunch

Steps:

either blending in a blender or whisking in a bowl ( if whisking, add the peanut butter last, adding a little at a time to incorporate).
Blot the tofu gently, and cut into 6 slices (see photo), then cut each slice into two, to make 12 strips. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush all sides liberally with the peanut sauce, spooning a little extra over the tops. Bake 25-30 minutes. Save the remaining sauce for the burritos.
The fastest way to make rice is using the pasta method. Boil 1/2 cup rice in 4-5 cups salted water, uncovered, drain when tender, using a strainer, letting stand in the strainer 5 mins. Fluff.
cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce.
, whisking in 2-4 tablespoons water with a fork to loosen them. Add a spoonful of garlic chili paste, Sambal Olek, or a squirt of sriracha to taste, to pep them up a bit. Keep them warm.
Right before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. If you have a gas stove, use tongs, place directly on the gas grate, over medium flame, turning often with tongs. Otherwise, place in a single layer in the oven on the rack until soft and pliable. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
Spoon some of the warm beans onto the tortilla creating a base, add rice, then tofu and veggies and herbs. Spoon some peanut sauce over top, and optional peanuts or peanut chili crunch, and wrap up tightly. ***I've found it easiest to eat with foil wrapped around the bottom half to keep these big boys all together.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

¾ cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 tablespoon curry paste
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce substitute
2 (8 ounce) containers extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
4 (8-inch) bamboo skewers
3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
2 ½ tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 lime wedges

Steps:

Mix coconut milk, kecap manis, curry paste, turmeric powder, ginger, and vegan fish sauce together in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal and shake to mix.
Cut tofu into 2-inch pieces and place in the bag. Seal and shake to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, chili-garlic sauce, kecap manis, lime juice, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Set aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the tofu pieces and tap to remove any excess marinade. Skewer an equal number of tofu pieces onto each skewer.
Grill the skewers on each side until browned, basting the skewers with the marinade as they cook, 10 to 15 minutes total.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers and serve with extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.
