How do you served the satay?

Satay may be served with a spicy peanut sauce dip, or peanut gravy, served with slices of lontong or ketupat (rice cakes), garnished with a sprinkle of bawang goreng (crisp fried shallot), and accompanied by acar (pickles) consisting of slivers of onions, carrots, and cucumbers in vinegar, salt, and sugar solution.

What is the difference between peanut sauce and satay sauce?

Although commonly associated with Thai cuisine, peanut sauce actually originated in Indonesia (source). What Americans know as peanut sauce is more commonly referred to as satay sauce (or bumbu kacang) in Indonesia, because it's most often served with the popular Indonesian dish, satay (skewered, grilled meats).

How do you cut chicken strips for satay?

Cut thin (1/4-inch) slices that run the length of the chicken breast (each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch approximately) to get 16 slices . If you find it difficult to cut thinly through fresh meat, leave it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden slightly and then slice.

Why do you eat cucumber with satay?

Why do they often serve satay with cucumbers and onions you ask? The main purpose of cucumbers and onions is to neutralize the carbon levels in satay because the warming effect from the satay has high carbon content.

Why does satay taste so good?

The key ingredient is peanuts which together with kecap (soy sauce) gives it a salty and mildly spicy taste. Many different recipes for making peanut sauces exist, which means that all these satay sauces taste differently.

Should chicken satay be pink?

The USDA says that as long as all parts of the chicken have reached a minimum internal temperature of 165°, it is safe to eat . Color does not indicate doneness. The USDA further explains that even fully cooked poultry can sometimes show a pinkish tinge in the meat and juices.

Should satay sauce be refrigerated?

Any leftover sauce will keep refrigerated for up to 6 weeks in a glass jar , and can also be frozen. I usually make a big batch of satay sauce and freeze it in small batches to make for quick and easy mid-week dinners.
