Satay! Satay!

Finally..  the satay recipe. This will be only for the satay marinade and next post will be the peanut sauce.

Ingredients:

The ingredients, we made 1.5kg of meat so triple the amount in this recipe

• Chicken fillet – 1/2 kg (you can also use pork or beef or mutton), cut into small pieces.
• Satay sticks – Soaked in water for atleast half an hour before use. This is to prevent it from being burned while on the grill.
• 1 tablespoon coriander seed – grind
• 1 tablespoon cumin seed – grind
• 2 tablespoon tumeric powder
• 3 tablespoon peanut oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon white pepper – grind
• 1 teaspoon black pepper – grind
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1 small pack of coconut milk – I used about 100ml of coconut milk
• 2 lemon grass
• 2 shallots
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 4 lime leafs finely chopped
• 1 cardamom pod
• 1/2 lime – juice
• 2 dry chili – soaked and cut
• 1/2 red chili – chopped
• 2.5cm ginger (or more if you like it) – chopped
• 2.5cm galangal (replaced the amount with ginger if you cannot find galangal) – chopped

Mix all the above ingredient in a pot, add in the cut chicken fillet… massage it a bit and leave it in the fridge for 10 hours.

We had chicken, pork and mutton in three different bowls

Remember to soak the satay sticks before use, then you can start putting the meat on the sticks.

Putting the meat on the satay sticks

Satays on the grill! You want to make sure you cook the chicken thoroughly.

Ten ten ten! The satay is ready...
