Product Information

Lemongrass - Add lemongrass for Authentic Malaysian-style curry flavour. You can find lemongrass in most supermarkets and grocery stores' herbs section. Finely chop or grate the bottom part of the lemongrass. Curry powder - Use any mild or hot Indian curry powder of your choice. I used Madras curry powder in this recipe.

If you cannot get lemongrass, you can add a teaspoon of lime zest in the curry sauce for a bit of zesty flavour. Salt or Soy sauce? I don't usually add soy sauce or fish sauce to this recipe. Simply season with salt for a perfectly balanced curry flavour. HOW TO MAKE ITCook the skewers on your ridged grill, BBQ or bake them in a hot oven (200°C) for around 25 minutes. If cooking them on a grill pan, I finish them in the oven for 10 minutes once they've nicely caramelised on the outside. If you are cooking them on a BBQ, they will take around 10 minutes to cook through (depending on how hot the BBQ is).

Coconut milk - I usually use full fat or creamy Thai coconut milk in this recipe. You can swap coconut milk with heavy cream or double cream. In a separate bowl, add in all the satay sauce ingredients (except the reserved coconut that you'll use to make the dipping sauce with) and whisk together. Lime juice - I do not add lime juice to the curry sauce while cooking. I love to a queeze of fresh lime juice just right before serving. Err….How do you make your Satay Sauce?” I asked. Full marks for word smithing. I should have been a detective – brilliant, crafty questioning skills. Can you freeze it? Let it cool down completely and freeze it in an air-tight container for later use. Do not squeeze any lime juice in the curry sauce if you are planning to freeze.As my local Chinese takeout owner says, there is actually no such thing as satay in Chinese cuisine. But over the years the popularity of satay generally has evolved such that almost every neighbourhood Chinese restaurant here in Australia has x, y and z in Satay Sauce on the menu. You can cook these skewers in lots of different ways, I generally grill them on a ridged grill pan and finish them in the oven. If you've got a barbecue going, they are fantastic cooked over coals, just make sure the barbecue isn't too hot when you start cooking. Alternatively, you can just bake them in a hot oven.

Curry Powder - Add any of your favourite mild or hot Indian-style curry powder. I usually add mild Madras curry powder to this recipe.We use Jimmy’s. But we change it!”, he said almost defensively, daring me tojudge him for using a bottled sauce. “We add things. We make better!”

Peanut Butter - To make the best satay peanut sauce, you will need creamy peanut butter. I usually use pure smooth peanut butter, no added sugar, no salt. It is totally fine to add the crunchy peanut butter if you love a bit of peanut crunch in the curry sauce. The brand of Satay Sauce that my Chinese restaurant refers to as using as their sauce base is called Jimmy’s Sate Sauce.It’s sold in someAsian shopsand even at some fresh produce stores, like Harris Farms(not at all stores).AChinese friend of mine told me that it’s quite widely used in restaurants, but always with other ingredients added. Not only that, Jimmy's also makes the base for brilliant stir fries, salad dressings and soups.
