How
to make satay
Satay
is a simple and succulent dish consisting of marinated meat
(often chicken) grilled on skewers and served with a spicy
peanut sauce for dipping. It makes a wonderful appetizer,
or can be served with rice and a salad as a main meal.
|
|
Soak
skewers and make the marinade
|
|
|
|
Soak
6 bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour (this prevents
the skewers burning during cooking). Mix together 2 tablespoons
of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon
of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 1 teaspoon
of ground coriander and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar in
a small bowl. |
|
Marinate
the chicken and prepare peanut sauce
|
|
|
Cut
13 oz (400g) of skinless chicken breasts lengthwise
into 6 even-size strips. Place the chicken strips in
a shallow dish and pour over the marinade. Refrigerate
for at least 1 hour, turning halfway through to ensure
the chicken strips are evenly coated with the marinade.
While the chicken marinates, prepare half the quantity
of the Peanut Sauce recipe.
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
Preheat
an indoor or outdoor grill. Thread the chicken strips
onto the skewers in a zig-zag fashion (don't bunch the
chicken strips too tightly or they won't cook evenly).
|
|
Grill
the skewers over a high heat for around 4 minutes on
each side, brushing lightly with the marinade, until
cooked.
|
|
 |
|
|
Serve
with peanut sauce and lemon wedges
|
|
|
|
Serve
the chicken skewers with the cold peanut sauce for dipping
and lemon or lime wedges for drizzling.
