Tofu in satay sauce – a taste trip to Asia
Tofu in satay sauce, apple & cucumber salad and rice is the perfect choice when you fancy a flavourful trip to Asia in your own kitchen. This recipe combines a spicy satay sauce, a fresh apple–cucumber salad marinated with lime, and hearty basmati rice. It’s a vegan option that works brilliantly for busy weekdays or a relaxed weekend dinner.

What makes this tofu in satay sauce recipe special?
At the heart of this dish is its delicious combination of flavours. The spicy, chilli-seasoned peanut sauce gives the tofu a rich taste, lifted by the refreshing apple–cucumber salad with zesty lime. It’s not only tasty, but also nourishing: high in protein and with plenty of satisfying carbohydrates.

Easy to make and handy tips
Allow around 20 minutes – this recipe helps you create a quick, effortless meal full of flavour. You can speed things up by slicing the cucumber and apples in advance. Patting the tofu dry with kitchen paper helps you achieve a perfect fried surface. If you’d like more tang in the salad, add a splash of white wine vinegar.

Serving ideas and sides
Serve the tofu in satay sauce hot, alongside cooked basmati rice and the fresh apple–cucumber salad. You can also serve everything on a large platter so everyone can help themselves. A refreshing mint tea or ginger-infused water makes an excellent drink on the side.
