EASY SATAY SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the satay sauce ingredients EXCEPT for the lime juice into a small pan
• Heat over medium heat whilst stirring with a wooden spoon. The sauce will look thin at first, then as it comes close to boiling point, it will start to thicken. Don't let the sauce boil, just turn down the heat as it approaches boiling point and stir until thickened, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice.
• Transfer the sauce to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, chilli flakes and fresh coriander before serving.

LEANNA'S SATAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put everything in a pan.
• Stir over medium heat until it is smooth.
• If it is too thick, add a little water.
• Or if you want it creamier, add a little coconut milk.

SATAY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with metal blade or in a blender, combine all the ingredients and process until smooth. Refrigerated, in a covered container, the sauce will keep for up to 5 days.
• I use chili powder in place of the crushed red pepper because I like it really spicy.
• I've also frozen and thawed leftovers - it is still delicious.
• A note about this recipe from the book: Satay is a theme that recurs all over Asia and it varies depending on the country. My Version most closely resembles the Thai rendition; it's creamy and highly spiced. Serve it with grilled chicken, beef or seafood [or tofu].

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the Peanut Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and thick, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over. Add the peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and come together, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute more; remove from the heat. An oily film will rise to top; skim it off, if you wish. Keep the sauce warm while you make the chicken satay. (See Cook's Note.)
• Make the Chicken Satay: Place the coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.
• Slice the chicken against the grain into 2-inch square tiles about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the marinade and massage to coat the chicken evenly. You can cover and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor and tenderness or cook it immediately.
• Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, stopping 2 inches from the bottom of each skewer.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to high and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the grill grates or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, grill the chicken on one side until you get nice char marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
