Sate Babi Or Ayam Recipes

SATE BABI - INDONESIAN PORK SATAY

Steps:

• Pork satays: Grind shallots, garlic, red chilies, candlenuts, and galangal in a food processor into a smooth paste.
• Mix pork with the spice paste, palm sugar, coriander, cumin, turmeric, soy sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge overnight to marinate. Please marinate for a minimum of two hours even if you don't have much time.
• Skewer marinated pork pieces with bamboo skewers.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush the grills with oil using a silicone brush, and grill pork skewers until the surface is golden brown and slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange grilled pork satays on a serving plate.
• Chili sauce: Transfer leftover marinade into a saucepot and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens.
• Place the sauce into a bowl, add thinly sliced shallots, chopped red chilies, and lime juice. Serve pork satays with the chili sauce.

SATE BABI (OR AYAM)

Steps:

• Cut the pork up, into cubes.
• Make a marinade from the remaining ingredients.
• Add the meat and leave to marinate for 30 minutes minimum.
• Skewer the meat onto metal or bamboo/wooden skewers, if you use the wooden soak for half an hour in water, keep the marinade.
• Roast them under a grill, in a grill pan or best of all on the barbeque until done, usually about ten minutes or shorter.
• Baste with the remaining marinade during cooking.

INDONESIAN CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE (SATAY AYAM)

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and sunflower seed oil in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
• Bring water, peanut butter, kecap manis, brown sugar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan; stir to combine. Remove from heat and add lime juice.
• Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Set about 2 tablespoons peanut sauce aside in a small bowl and brush the sauce in the bowl over chicken.
• Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken skewers in batches on grill pan and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve skewers with remaining peanut sauce from the saucepan.

INDONESIAN CHICKEN KEBABS (SATé AYAM, BUMBU SATé)

Steps:

• PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Remove the tendon from each chicken breast half. Separate the fillet from each breast by lifting the end of the fillet and pulling it toward you. With a chef's knife, cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Cut each breast into 7 thin strips on the diagonal, the same size as the strips of fillet.
• Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Put all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together with a metal spoon.
• Add the chicken strips and mix until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 12.
• MAKE THE PEANUT SAUCE: Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, 3-5 minutes. Transfer the peanuts to a food processor.
• Cut the onion into pieces and add to the food processor with the garlic, hot pepper flakes, ginger, brown sugar and lemon juice. Puree the mixture until very smooth, scraping the bowl with the spatula as necessary.
• Blend in the hot water, adding enough to make a pourable sauce that coats he back of a spoon. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, heat to boiling, and simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Take care as the sauce will easily scorch. Season to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• PREPARE AND COOK THE KEBABS. About 30 minutes before cooking, soak bamboo skewers. Heat the broiler. Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers accordion-style, using three strips per skewer and slightly twisting the strips as you thread them. Brush the broiler rack with oil. Arrange the chicken kebabs on the rack.
• Broil the kebabs 2-3 inches from the heat until the chicken is browned, 2-3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side 2-3 minutes.
• Arrange the kebabs on individual plates and serve with the warm peanut sauce. Accompany with a rice pilaf for a more substantial meal.

SATI BABI

Steps:

• In a glass bowl or dish, mix together the salt, pepper, coriander, cumin seed, and vegetable oil. Add pork cubes, and stir to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes. Add onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ginger; stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, but best overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Thread pork cubes onto skewers.
• Cook pork on the grill, basting frequently with the remaining marinade. Turn occasionally until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve sprinkled with lime juice to taste. Discard any unused marinade.
