I love street food.
Especially when I visit new countries and towns.
It’s one of the best way to see the real local culture. I love sitting on a wobbly plastic chair, feeling the new fresh air, choosing a dish which I’ve never seen before. It’s a nice little adventure.
This recipe is Indonesian satay style. I remember the smily and hard working people at food stalls in Indonesia when I eat it.
——————————
— Peanut Chicken Satay (serves 4) —
5-6 chicken thighs, boned and skinned
Some coriander, chopped (for garnish)
*****
— for marinade —
4 tablespoons peanuts butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon coriander, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemongrass, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fish sauce (Nam pla)
4 tablespoons coconuts milk
1/2 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon soya sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
——————————
Cut the chicken into bite size.
Mix all the marinade ingredient in a bowl, add the chicken and coat well all over. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Thread the chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers and grill for 4-5 minutes each side until cooked through.
Sprinkle with the chopped coriander.
We love chicken satay and like you, I have experimented with many different peanut sauces and the one we like best is just about identical to yours. Love it!
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you like the satay sauce. I’d like to give it a try some of the recipes in your delicious blog too :D
