Ingredients
- • seitan: 16 oz, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • coconut milk: 1/2 cup
- • soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • cayenne pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • natural peanut butter: 1/3 cup
- • hot water: 1/4 cup
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • sriracha: 1 tablespoon
- • crushed peanuts: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • wooden skewers: 8-12, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the skewers cook evenly and achieve the desired crispiness.
- 2 In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed to create a flavorful marinade.
- 3 Add the seitan cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 4 Thread the marinated seitan onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing the cubes evenly among them.
- 5 Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy.
- 6 While the skewers are cooking, prepare the spicy peanut sauce by mixing peanut butter, hot water, maple syrup, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the heat by adding more sriracha if desired.
- 7 Once the skewers are done, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air-Fried Seitan Satay Skewers pair wonderfully with a fresh cucumber salad or steamed jasmine rice, providing a refreshing contrast to the rich, savory skewers. Add a squeeze of lime juice over the skewers for an extra burst of freshness. Complement this meal with a light, herbal tea or a chilled glass of coconut water to balance the spiciness of the peanut sauce. For a more substantial meal, consider serving alongside a vibrant vegetable stir-fry or a cooling mint yogurt dip.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The spicy peanut sauce can be stored separately in a sealed container for the same duration. To reheat the skewers, simply place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving the skewers as it may lead to a soggy texture. The peanut sauce can be gently warmed in a microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
