Receta Chicken Satay & A Peanut Dipping Sauce
Going out to eat is expensive, so I try to make it at home. This typical Thai fare turned out better than any I've ever paid for at a restaurant and comes complete with a healthier peanut sauce made from (gasp) actual peanuts--not peanut butter!

Direcciones
- In a small saucepan, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and brown sugar. Heat on low until sugar dissolves, 4-5 minutes. Let cool.
- In a small saute pan, place coriander, cumin and turmeric. Heat on low, moving around gently. When aromatic, take off of heat and let cool.
- In a food processor, finely chop ginger, lemongrass, onion, garlic and chili. When other ingredients are cool, add and puree.
- Fillet chicken breast and cut into strips. Mix with marinade and place in fridge for at least an hour. Can be done the night before for more pronounced flavors.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak before use. Otherwise, place chicken on skewers. Lightly grease your barbecue grill, as it will stick. Cook thoroughly, approximately 5-7 minutes. The chicken will be thin, so watch closely.
- To make the peanut sauce, In a food processor, finely chop chilis, peanuts, ginger, garlic and lemongrass. Mix fish sauce, vinegar, salt and sugar into water. Set aside.
- Coat a small sauce pan with vegetable oil. Add peanut mixture, coating with oil and cooking for 1 minute. Add in water mixture. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens up.
- Let cool at room temperature. To thin out, add a little water. Add extra salt at room temperature--the flavors aren't pronounced until cooled.
