Satay Chicken Lettuce Wraps Food

CHICKEN SATAY LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter and sesame oil. Set the marinade aside.
• Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour or for up to overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat the grill - high heat on one side and low heat on the other side. Thread the chicken strips onto the bamboo skewers, keeping the chicken as flat as you can so that they cook evenly.
• Grill the chicken skewers, starting on the high heat side for 4 minutes each side. The move the skewers to the low heat side, cover and finish cooking, about 1-3 minutes more, depending on the thickness of your chicken.
• Remove from heat and then remove skewers when cooled slightly.
• To assemble Wraps: Take a lettuce cup, place 1-2 pieces of chicken satay in center. Top with a bit of each veg and a bit of noodles.
• Top with your choice of sauce. I like to make extra peanut sauce to pure over mine. Or try dumpling dipping sauce, or even plum sauce!
• Enjoy!

SATAY CHICKEN SALAD WRAPS

Steps:

• Put the chicken into a resealable gallon-size plastic bag and pound with the flat side of a meat tenderizer to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the peanut oil, to a food processor, fitted with the bottom blade or a blender, and pulse 5 to 6 times for 2 seconds each or until well blended. Using a new resealable gallon-size plastic bag, add the chicken and the marinade, mix well and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Asian Mayonnaise.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and wipe off the excess with a paper towel. Heat a large saute pan over high heat and add 3 tablespoons peanut oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, stirring frequently for 3 to 4 minutes. Once cooked through, remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm. To the same pan add the red onions, carrots, red bell peppers, and bok choy and saute for 2 minutes longer. Add in the mung bean sprouts, ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Spread all of the naan with the Asian Mayonnaise and top with the chicken satay saute. Roll and serve immediately.
• In a small, nonreactive bowl, combine all the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.

CHICKEN SATAY LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• For the chicken and marinade: Combine the brown sugar, oil, turmeric, cayenne, coriander, cumin, garlic, lemongrass, onion and 1 tablespoon salt in a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for the peanut sauce. Add the remaining marinade to a large bowl with the chicken and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• For the peanut sauce: Process the peanuts in a food processor until finely ground but not a paste. Transfer the peanuts to a medium saucepan and add the coconut milk, tamarind paste, vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup water and the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade. Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• For the toppings and serving: Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl near the stove. Process the garlic in a food processor until finally chopped but not a paste. Add the garlic to a medium skillet with the oil and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is light golden brown (be careful not to let it get too dark or it can become bitter), 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the oil and garlic into the sieve and let drain, reserving the garlic oil. Spread the garlic on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
• Return 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil to the skillet (reserve the rest for another use) and add the peanuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peanuts are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Let cool completely.
• Heat a 2-burner cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until evenly hot, about 10 minutes.
• Divide the chicken among twelve 10-inch bamboo skewers, packing the pieces close together. Grill, turning frequently with tongs, until the chicken is caramelized all over and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve the chicken skewers with a platter of the tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce leaves and onions and bowls of rice. Serve the peanut sauce, crispy garlic and sugared peanuts in separate bowls for topping.
