Tofu Satay Skewers

When people tell me they don’t like tofu I always feel like it’s because they don’t know how to properly prepare, spice and marinade it. Tofu is one of my favorite plant-based proteins (the organic, non-GMO ones), as it’s naturally low in fat but high in calcium and iron! I love to make tofu scrambles or create delicious marinades like these Tofu Satay Skewers. It usually takes a second to prepare and is so nutritious and tasty you just have to love it! 🙂

I’ve always had a weakness for everything peanut – but usually my creations are on the sweet side. Peanuts and peanut butter, however, goes amazingly well with savory foods! If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that I value nut butters that are 100% nuts, without any additives like palm oil or sugar, which is why I adore the KoRo nut butters since they’re completely natural!

If you have never heard of KoRo before – you’re missing out! They’re my number 1 go-to online drug store in Europe for my favorite vegan staple ingredients like dried fruits (Medjool dates, mango, berries, etc.), superfoods, nut butters, nuts, flours, juices, coconut water, protein powders, kitchen utensils like wooden bowls or mason jars and so much more!
I get a big package delivered straight to my house every month with all the staple ingredients I need for cooking/baking this months and LOVE their concept. Their products are:

• very high quality at great prices
• mostly organic, without added sugars & 100% natural
• packed in bulk to avoid unnecessary plastic
• sourced sustainably in cooperation with local/regional farmers
• supporting fair trade & social projects

As of right now they’re only shipping in Europe – namely to the following countries: Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Portugal, Spain – their website is available in German, English and French!

ALSO: great news – I’ve worked out a discount code with KoRo so you’ll get a 5% discount when using the code ‘THETASTYK’ at the checkout on every order! 🙂 YAY!

I personally love to serve my skewers in a poke bowl made with rice, teriyaki oyster mushrooms, steamed bok choy or cilantro and some extra satay sauce on top, but you can basically ad them to any bowl with your favorite fillings! 🙂
