Happy Friday You’ll !!! I hope you had a nice week and I’m so looking forward to the weekend and noshing on these Thai Tofu Skewers with some Thai ice tea. My week was a mix of blah in the beginning to absolutely crazy until yesterday … and today I’m excited as I get to share the recipe of these superhit skewers with you. I’m giving you three different method to cook these Skewers – Grilled, Baked & Air Fryer So, my girlfriends decided to throw an impromptu Girl BBQ party yesterday and I was asked to get these Tofu Skewers on Wednesday night… Seriously, my friends think I’m some kinda genie that grants wishes in terms of food 😉
But I guess they know me well or as my family calls it ‘food hoarder’, I confess I always have tons of stuff in our kitchen pantry (as if I’m never gonna go to store ever) and the fridge. The only thing, I was little scared of was that I don’t have any fresh herbs at home and these skewers needed ‘basil’. But then these ‘Dorot chopped Basil’ came to the rescue as I always have them in my freezer. I’m telling you and you can thank me later 😉 they have these clean, cute, and pre-proportioned herbs (cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, etc) all packed in a small little-frozen baggie.
Thai Tofu Skewers Ingredients
The ingredients can be easily found in most grocery stores:
Extra Firm Tofu Thai Herbs – (Lemongrass, galangal ginger) for Thai paste or use store-bought paste Maple Syrup, you can use honey or any other sweetener Red Onion Zucchini Cherry Tomatoes Yellow Bell Pepper Vinegar Tamari, you can use soy sauce too Chili Paste, I’m using sambal (found in Asian and American stores)
Phew, what a relief !!! So, here I was on Thursday morning marinating the veggies+tofu with the spice-mix and I’m talking 9 am as the BBQ starts at 11 am, yep, that’s the chosen time. I just marinated the whole mix for about 15 minutes but if you have time, marinate them for longer. Now, for the most fun part “Have you seen anyone grilling on their balcony at 9 am?” (lol) Yep, that would be me, I just started the grill at 9 am and these cuties were ready to be grilled by 9:20 am.
How to Make Thai Tofu Skewers:
The initial recipe still we add everything to the skewers is same for any method you choose to cook them:
Grilled Thai Tofu Skewers
Baked Thai Tofu Skewers
Air Fryer Thai Tofu Skewers
One Step that’s extremely important is that you NEED to Watch the Skewers (no matter which method you pick to cook them) as Tofu burns easily. Once, they are cooked, I just sprinkled a little bit of lime juice to keep them fresh and juicy. Just before I could pack them, here’s me doing the very important taste test or breakfast as I say 🙂 The grill marks look awesome on them and it’s such an easy peasy recipe that can be added to any of your instant or upcoming BBQ parties. It’s also totally #Vegan and #Glutenree as a couple of my friends are on Vegan+Gluten-Free diet. So, go ahead and get those grill started and make these delicious Sweet Spicy Thai Tofu Skewers. Go get these ‘Dorot’ products to help you in your next cooking preparation.
With a two-year shelf life, you can have fresh Garlic, Onions and Herbs year round with the simple “pop” of the tray.” I got mine from ‘Trader’s Joe’ in the frozen food aisle (picture below) but definitely, go to their site here -> Dorot <- and find your local store.

Air Fryer Thai Tofu Skewers:
You can follow any of the method given above, the tofu skewers taste exactly the same. I find the Air Fryer version cooks faster and is crisper.
