Satay
Also known as: Sate
Malay-style spiced chicken skewers with peanut sauce.
About Satay
This satay follows Sha’s Singapore and Malaysian chicken version. Pieces of chicken thigh are threaded onto skewers with a lemongrass-and-spice marinade, with peanut sauce served alongside.
Palm sugar gives caramelised sweetness, balanced by salt, cumin and coriander. Turmeric brings an earthy note, while ginger, garlic and lemongrass provide fragrant warmth.
The grilled chicken is juicy with a lightly charred surface. Creamy peanut sauce contrasts with raw onion, cucumber and rice cakes in the source’s serving presentation.
