Curries are the perfect meal in the colder months. The spices really warm you up and they are a hearty meal which keeps you feeling full. This Vegan Peanut Satay Curry is no different.
Satay can be seen all across South East Asia and it can come in many forms - for example skewered protein served with a peanut based satay sauce or as a creamy curry, like this! Their similarities are in the spices used and peanuts.
This Vegan Peanut Satay Curry is delicious served over fluffy white rice though would work with noodles too. A sprinkling of coriander, roasted peanuts and some sliced red chilli finishes it off perfectly. Why not also add a squeeze of lime?

Method
1
Begin by coating the tofu with the satay seasoning. Toss the tofu well in the spices then place to one side for at least 20 minutes. This will give the tofu time to absorb the flavours.
2
In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil then add the tofu and peppers to the pan. Cook on a medium-high heat until the tofu is crispy and the peppers have begun to soften.
3
Remove the tofu and peppers from the pan and place to one side.
4
Add a little more oil to the pan then add the onions and garlic.
5
Saute for 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent and soft.
6
Leave to cool slightly then add the onions and garlic to a high speed blender along with the other sauce ingredients (except the coconut milk).
7
Blitz on high until the sauce is smooth.
8
Add the tofu and peppers back into the pan then pour over the sauce along with the coconut milk. Stir until you have a creamy sauce.
9
Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes or until you have a thick sauce and the dish is piping hot.
10
It is then ready to serve with either rice or noodles and the garnishes.
