Instructions

- Prepare the peanut sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a bowl, starting with 2 tablespoons of water and adding more until you reach your desired consistency.
- Thread the marinated tofu, bell peppers, and onions onto the pre-soaked skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until you see nice grill marks and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
