Beef Or Chicken Satay With Peanut Sauce Recipes

POH'S CHICKEN OR BEEF SATAY WITH HOMEMADE PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To make peanut sauce, blend rempah ingredients until you achieve a fine paste. Set aside. Pour rempah into a heavy bottom saucepan or wok and bring to a medium heat. Stir continuously to make sure the bottom isn't catching and cook until there is very little steam rising from the sauce. At this stage, the oil will have split from the spice paste, caramelising into a lovely dark red and developing a beautiful fragrance. Add water and bring to boil. Add tamarind, lime, sugar and only 1 tsp of salt and half the crushed peanuts. Bring to boil again, remove from heat and set aside until required. Add the remaining nuts and give sauce a stir just before for a nice bit of crunch. At the very end, TASTE. If you feel something is lacking, the sauce just needs some balancing with more seasoning or a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside. Cutting the meat for a satay is very difficult to describe because it's not a straight slice or dice. What you want to achieve is something like an elongated triangle that is cut against the grain, no more than 2 cm wide at its widest, 1 cm thick and 3-4 cm long, irregular in shape but similar in size. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate in a large mixing bowl. To start the marinade, blend all marinade ingredients to a fine paste. Tip all the meat and marinade into a snaplock bag. Massage meat through bag, ensuring to coat every piece of meat with the marinade, push all the air out and seal. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Following the length of each piece of meat, pierce evenly through the centre making sure each piece is sitting flatly. Thread about 3-4 pieces onto each skewer. The end appearance of each skewer will be a thin thread of meat which basically has 2 flat sides, making the satay easy to turn and cook. Grill over coals or on a bbq until meat is slightly charred and cooked through. To make pressed rice, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Boil for 10 minutes then cover and simmer on medium heat for another 10 minutes. Turn heat off and allow rice to rest for another 15 minutes. Spread rice evenly into a foil-lined, 20 x 20 cm square baking tin, cover with foil and then press with an oven mitt over your hand, to compress the rice evenly. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before cutting into 2 cm cubes. To serve, divide peanut sauce into individual bowls and place satays, pineapple, onion, cucumber and cubed rice at the centre of the table to share.
