2. Make the marinade by combining the tomato paste with 2 teaspoons of Mekhala Organic Red Curry Paste, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey, mix well.
3. Add the tofu to the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour.
4. Skewer the marinated tofu and veggies of choice alternately.

Tips:
To get dry tofu, remove the excess water from the tofu when removing it from the pack. Place it between 2 dry paper towels, place a baking tray or a heavy pan onto it, and leave it for 20 minutes. The more water you drain, the crispier your tofu will be.
