Satay Sauce
Satay sauce is the classic peanut sauce that you find in every Asian restaurant that is generally served with thin strips of chicken on skewers and is a fantastic starter or nible when you have people over. Make plenty, I have yet to meet anyone who does not like this sauce. It’s sweet, it’s savory, it’s very rich and just delicious.
What you need
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons hot water
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
The process
Add the oil with the garlic, and chili flakes to a pot over a medium heat and cook until the garlic is white and soft. Add the ginger and stir. allow it to cook for about another minute or so.
Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir until the sugar has melted and the sauce is a smooth fragrant paste.
here is a chicken strip recipe that goes beautifully with this sauce. The thing you really do not want to do is overcook the chicken, they take a minute or so on each side and should be succulent and juicy.
Enjoy it folks
Hi Graham
Thank you for this.
I’m really keen to try this out.
You mention ‘here is a chicken strip recipe that goes beautifully with this sauce’ Couldn’t find it.
How long can you keep this sauce?
Hi Ilana, it will keep for a good few days without any problem. I have had it in the fridge for a week without any hassle. Cheers for now G
hi graham this looks really delicious..the skewers..to you prepare the skewers first and then dip sauce over it or do you kind of marinate the skewers in it..and i would like it if you can please give more serving suggestions
tnx
Hi Brigitte, it’s a dipping sauce or to be poured over the chicken skewers once cooked. You can use it with beef skewers or I sometimes pour a little over a chicken salad as well. If you like peanut flavours you will love this. Happy days G

Hi Sharon, rice wine is available in most big supermarkets or a Chinese supermarket but can be substituted with Dry Sherry. Cheers for now G
What is rice wine? Is it rice or is it a type of wine?
Hi Ang, it’s a type of wine that can be substituted with dry sherry, happy holidays G
