Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 10 satés

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts, ground fine in a food processor
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
ten 8-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
1 teaspoon minced fresh coriander sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl stir together coconut milk, soy sauce, curry powder, and ground coriander until combined well. Transfer 1/2 cup coconut mixture to a medium bowl and stir in cornstarch, reserving remaining coconut mixture, covered and chilled.

    Step 2

    Cut chicken lengthwise into ten 1/2-inch-thick strips and add to cornstarch mixture, stirring to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 24.

    Step 3

    Prepare grill.

    Step 4

    In a small saucepan stir together reserved coconut mixture, peanuts, lime juice, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until thickened. Transfer dipping sauce to a small bowl and cool.

    Step 5

    Thread 1 piece chicken onto each skewer and grill on a oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.

    Step 6

    Sprinkle dipping sauce with fresh coriander and serve at room temperature with chicken satés.
