How to Prepare Sesame Tofu Skewers With Spicy Peanut Sauce [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Start by squeezing the water out of your tofu. Cut the tofu into strips and put it into a tupperware container.
Then mix together all marinade ingredients (make sure there are no lumps).
Pour the marinade over the tofu in the tupperware container. Close the lid and shake it carefully so you don't break the tofu strips.
Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the more flavor the tofu will absorb.
Cover a large plate with sesame seeds.
Roll the tofu skewers in the sesame seeds so that the tofu is coated on all sides.
Grill on a BBQ or griddle pan.
To make the spicy peanut butter dip mix all peanut butter sauce ingredients in a bowl until you get a smooth texture. If you don't have smooth peanut butter at home you can also throw all ingredients into a blender, makes it even easier.
