I´m Indonesian but I live in Spain. I´d like to share with you my recipe of satay ayam. It has helped me a lot to overcome my homesickness. I hope this dish will be one of your favorite Asian dishes. You will not be able to resist the sweet and salty taste of the peanut sauce! Ingredients:
1 pound chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 pinch ground white pepper |
1 tablespoon sunflower seed oil |
24 wooden skewers |
peanut sauce |
1 cup water |
5 tablespoons peanut butter |
2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
Directions:
1. Combine chicken thighs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and sunflower seed oil in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
2. Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
3. Bring water, peanut butter, kecap manis, brown sugar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan; stir to combine. Remove from heat and add lime juice.
4. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Set about 2 tablespoons peanut sauce aside in a small bowl and brush the sauce in the bowl over chicken.
5. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken skewers in batches on grill pan and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve skewers with remaining peanut sauce from the saucepan.
