Drain the tofu & place the cakes between several layers of paper towels. Weight the top with a heavy plate & leave for 1 to 3 hours. While draining, prepare the Satay Sauce & Dipping Sauce.
SATAY SAUCE: Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion & garlic until the onion is wilting, approximately 2 minutes. Add curry powder & cook for 30 seconds. Add coconut milk, spy sauce, sugar, pepper, lemongrass & peanut butter. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
DIPPING SAUCE: In a small pot, over low heat, dissolve sugar in the water. Remove from the heat & stir in the vinegar, soy sauce & dried chili flakes. When completely cool, add the carrot & peanuts & serve.
When the tofu has drained, slice each cake lengthways into 4 strips. In a food processor, combine oil, lemongrass, garlic, curry powder, chili pepper & sugar & process until smooth. Pour this mixture over the tofu strips, toss gently to coat the pieces & marinate for an hour at room temperature.
Soak 16 wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes. Carefully insert two wooden skewers parallel & 1" apart into each tofu slice. Oil the grill. On a closed grill over medium-hot coals, grill the tofu, turning once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with sataySauce & Dipping Sauce.
