Tofu Satay, a popular Southeast Asian dish, has a rich history dating back to the street food stalls of Indonesia and Malaysia. This flavorful dish features marinated tofu grilled on skewers, creating a perfect blend of smoky and savory flavors. Renowned chefs like Chef Wan in Malaysia and Chef William Wongso in Indonesia have elevated the art of making Tofu Satay, using traditional recipes passed down through generations. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the marinade, typically made with a mix of soy sauce, lemongrass, and spices, which infuses the tofu with a burst of aromatic flavors. Today, the best versions of Tofu Satay can be found in bustling night markets and local eateries across Southeast Asia. For a twist, consider using peanut sauce for dipping, adding a creamy and nutty dimension to this classic dish.
