  • 1tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1tsp fish sauce
  • 1tsp curry powder
  • 1/2tsp turmeric

Method

  1. Mix all of the satay marinade ingredients together
  2. Slice the chicken breast lengthways, around 1” thick then add to the marinade
  3. Marinade for up to 4 hours
  4. To make the peanut sauce, add the coconut milk, soy sauce and fish sauce to a saucepan on medium heat
  5. Once its hot, add in the remainder of the ingredients apart from the lime
  6. Simmer until it’s a nice thick consistency then remove from the heat and squeeze in the lime.
  7. Taste for balance and adjust if needed with the sugar, lime and fish sauce
  8. Thread the chicken on to the skewers, so the skewer goes right through the middle of the chicken lengthways
  9. Grill over hot coals (or under your kitchen grill) until nicely browned and the chicken has an internal temperature of 73c
  10. Serve with the peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped nuts & coriander
