Chicken Satay Recipe:

The meat

1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon soft brown sugar (muscovado)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 chicken breasts
12 wooden skewers

the sauce

3 teaspoons peanut butter
milk
chili powder

Dice the chicken into cubes. Mix all the main ingredients with
the chicken and place in the refrigerator for three hours or
preferably all night. Thread the chicken onto the wooden skewers
and place under the grill (broiler) for around 15 minutes, turning
them and basting them with the leftover marinade.

For the sauce, gently heat the peanut butter in the microwave so
that it is soft. Gradually add the milk and chili powder. The
final consistency should be firm and not runny.

Serve the satay sticks on a bed of rice garnished with fresh
coriander and chopped cucumber.

Side note: Feel free to add a lil bit of corn starch to tenderize the meat when you marinate it...

How gentle should we heat the peanut butter? :lol: :lol: :lol:

anyway, thanks for the recipe ... I might try it some time .. but can I use microwave or stovetop to replace the broiler? :oops: :oops:

Hrm..each microwave differs from each other...try mid-power settings and microwave it at intervals of 1 min till it becomes close to a pudding-like texture

Hrm..stovetop will work too. U can fry the satay instead of BBQing. I dont think you wanna go with microwave...hehehe

Good Luck! 8)

i know a more simplified version of just mixing peanut butter and chilli sauce; it won't taste as good as the original recipe above, but it sure is a hell lot faster....;p
