BALINESE PORK SATAY (SATE BABI) WITH SWEET SOY GLAZE AND PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE

Balinese Pork Satay (Sate Babi) With Sweet Soy Glaze and Peanut Sauce Recipe image

This recipe is inspired by the delicious pork satay I had at a night market on the north shore of Bali: little chunks of marinated meat threaded onto bamboo skewers, grilled over coals until charred, then served with a sweet-and-spicy peanut-based dipping sauce.

SATE BABI (OR AYAM)

Sate Babi (Or Ayam) image

This is what we call a sweet sate and the chili paste that I add does not really belong in this recipe. Can be made with chicken breasts and then it is called Sate Ayam. Here it usually served with a ketjap peanut sauce and prawn crackers, it can be an appetizer, snack or a side dish when part of an Indonesian rijsttafel. If you cannot get the sweet soy sauce, use regular and add some brown sugar. Marinating time is not included.
