Spice Mix

  • 2 tsp sichuan pepper
  • 1 tbsp five spice
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Spicy Chili Dipping Sauce

  • 1 large red chili

  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar

  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 5 minutes - this is to prevent burning of the sticks when cooking. Slice vegetables into bite sized pieces.
  • Combine the spices for the spice mix.
  • Thread tofu, vegetables, and mock meat onto bamboo skewers. Alternatively you can omit the usage of skewers and bake them all in one pan.
  • Brush the spiced oil on the skewers and bake them for about 20 minutes at 200C.
  • While that's baking, prepare your sauces: for the spicy chili sauce, blend chilies, shallot, garlic and coconut sugar until smooth.
  • Fry the paste off in olive oil and cook until oil separates - add salt, rice wine vinegar and mix well.
  • Mix ingredients for peanut sauce in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Arrange skewers on a plate with sauces on the side. Dip, eat, and enjoy your own homemade lok-lok!
