Arahan

1. 1

   Cut tofu, tempeh, red onion, bell pepper, and cucumber into bite-sized cubes. If using pandan leaf, tear into strips for wrapping.

   5 minutes

   Press tofu to remove excess moisture for better grilling.

2. 2

   Mix lemongrass, galangal, ground cumin, and soy sauce in a bowl to create a marinade. Toss tofu, tempeh, and vegetables in marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.

   10 minutes

   Marinating longer enhances flavor.

3. 3

   Thread tofu, tempeh, and vegetables onto wooden skewers. Wrap cubes with pandan strip for aroma if desired.

   3 minutes

   Alternate veggies for color and texture.

4. 4

   Preheat grill or grill pan. Grill skewers over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.

   10 minutes

   Use minimal oil, just enough to prevent sticking.
