The origin of Satay


Some people belief that Satay (or sate as it is called in Malay language) is not of Thai origin, but this is a mistake. Thailand shares many recipes with surrounding countries, as this is also the case with Satay which is immensely popular in Indonesia, Malaysia and the southern provinces of Thailand.

Satay is also a popular Thai street food, as it can be found around Thailand sold from push-cars or motorcycle sidecars. But now try to make our own Satay to impress our employers, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, wifes, husbands or family in Law.

Slice the chicken breast (ไก่เลือกตัวที่ไม่เป็นไข้หวัดนกค่ะ) finely, width approximately 3 cm. Pound together, or blend in a blender, coriander seeds (ลูกผักชี), Cumin seeds (ลูกยี่หร่า), pepper (พริกไทย), tumeric (ขมิ้น), curry powder (ผงกะหรี่), galangal (ข่า), lemon grass (ตะไคร้), salt (เกลือ) and garlic (กระเทียม). Pour the blended ingredients into the coconut milk. Add sugar and vegetable oil and blend again so that all ingredients are well mixed.

Add the chicken sliced and marinate for 2 hours, tread the chicken slices onto the skewers. Pour the marinating sauce into a pot and heat until boiling.

Place the chicken slices over a charcoal grill (barbecue) and apply the sauce to the chicken while turning over. When cooked through, serve with satay sauce and cucumber sauce.

We hope that you will enjoy your own made Satay and think about our website, of course any failure to make it aroi aroi will not be our fault. (ถ้าคุณทำไม่อร่อยอย่างเราทำ เราไม่มีส่วนรับผิดชอบใดๆ)
