How to Prepare Tofu Satay With Cauliflower Fried Rice [Vegan]

Open tofu from pack, drain water, and pat dry. Cut into large rectangles.
Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl, or bag and place tofu inside. Let marinade for 4-24 hours. Remove from marinade and gently slide onto your skewers.
Grease your grill on medium-high heat and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Chop your cauliflower into large pieces. Place in the food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add spring onions first and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the cauliflower, red pepper, and celery, and cook for 5-6 minutes, on medium heat. Add your soy sauce and crushed peanuts. (Depending on the size of your cauliflower you may want to add more or less soy sauce).
To prepare your peanut butter sauce, mix melted peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and Sriracha in a bowl.
Serve with fresh cilantro and lime.
