Searing Satay Chook
 

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:eek: Mmmmmmmm:)

I'm with you on the chili's. Mmmm mmm!

You can find sambal in any Asian market. or go to your local restaurant and beg for it. :p

I've been meaning to make a satay for a long time now. I'm gonna have to give this a shot.

They have this at most stores where I live, and I live in a shithole hillbilly town. I am not sure where you are, but Fred Meyer has it for sure. I am pretty sure Kroger would have it also!

I've not had the opportunity to shop at either Kroger or Fred Meyer. I think the old genuflect/supplicate at the local takeaway plan could be a winner; but that'll have to wait until after we have wonderful indonesian beef. Watch this space...
