Get boneless chicken, cut it up into smallish pieces, fry it.
Now gather the following ingredients:
4oz raw peanuts
1 onion, chopped
1tsp. sambal oelek (I couldn't find any...)
5 candle nuts
6 fluid oz. thin coconut milk
1tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. sweet soya sauce
1 tsp. ground kencur
Lots of very hot chillies (optional)
Fry peanuts in a wok until cooked. Grind the cooked peanuts with all ingredients (except coco. milk and soy sauce) into a fine paste, adding oil if you need to. Fry the paste for a few minutes, then add coconut milk and your pre-fried chook, and cook until sauce is thick. Stir in the sweet soy sauce just before serving.
The amount of lemon juice you use has a considerable influence on the end result. Satays are generally sweet, so keep to the prescribed amount if you want some degree of authenticity. Similarly, the pukka version has no chillis. I love chillis so I stuck 'em in
Mmmmmmmm
