Easy chicken satay that doesn't require exotic ingredients
« on: April 15, 2013, 04:57:51 am »
This is an old tried-and-true recipe I've had forever.  I usually make it for people who don't have much experience with authentic Thai food.  It's also easy to make wherever you live in the states, because you don't need to track down any exotic ingredients that may not be available where you live.

1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons soy sauce (please don't ever use LaChoy- go with Kikkoman)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
good dash paprika

Marinate the chicken in the above ingredients for at least two hours, better if overnight.  Thread onto soaked bamboo skewers or metal ones and broil or grill until done.  Serve with the following peanut sauce.

1 Tablespoon olive oil
Three green onions, sliced thinly up into the green
1 Tablespoon grated ginger root (or less if it's too intense for you)
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup water
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions, ginger and red pepper flakes.  Be careful not to burn it, but heat until the onions are softened.  Carefully add the water and peanut butter.  Stir until the peanut butter melts.  Add extra water if it gets too thick too quickly.  Remove from heat and stir in the soy sauce.

Serve the chicken and peanut sauce over rice.  Add a salad and it's a great meal.

I've been playing around with other recipes for the sauce.  I really like one with coconut  milk and lime juice.  Unfortunately all my recipes are sitting in boxes right now.  This one I have memorized.

Just thought I'd share it!  Hope you enjoy!

Wow, that sounds like something I could make! I love chicken satay, and don't get it very often. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I grew up Asia, and Kikkoman was what we always used.  I never really thought about it until I moved back to the states and tried some of the other brands.  LaChoy has no flavor in common with real soy sauce.  I think I once looked at a bottle's ingredients and there was very little soy in it.  Kikkoman has been made the traditional way in Japan for hundreds of years.  Oddly, though, even Kikkoman tastes different depending on where it's brewed.  Out here we always check the label to make sure it's made in Japan.  It's also brewed in Malaysia, but that isn't as good.  I believe that the US Kikkoman bottles are all made in Wisconsin.  It's still good, but not like the original.  Oh boy, am I a soy sauce snob!

I prefer the old Kikkoman like it used to be made in the sixties.:)
