List of Ingredients




3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, or cider vinegar
1 zest of 1 orange(s), (small), finely grated, and juice of it
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
2 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped
250 g regular tofu, drained and cut into 16 cubes
2 medium courgette, each sliced into 8 pieces
2 medium red green or yellow pepper(s), (1 yellow and 1 red), each cut into 12 pieces
8 large mushrooms, closed cup, halved
4 sprig fresh coriander, to garnish




Recipe



Choose a shallow non-metallic dish large enough to hold eight kebabs. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, orange rind, orange juice, Chinese five spice powder and chopped coriander. Mix together.


Thread the tofu cubes onto 8 wooden kebab sticks, alternating the pieces with the courgettes, peppers and mushrooms. Lay the kebabs in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover, refrigerate and leave to soak for at least an hour, turning them once after 30 minutes.


Pre-heat the grill. Arrange the kebabs on the grill pan and cook them for about 8 - 10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the marinade.


Serve, garnished with fresh coriander sprigs.

Cook’s tips: For a variation on the marinade, use 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, the grated rind and juice of 2 limes and 1/2 tsp Thai seven spice seasoning.
