This is a Thai dipping sauce for Chicken or Pork Satay. The recipe comes from "ThaiTable.com." I share it with all who are looking to replicate the great flavors associated with authentic Thai cooking. I have made a few minor adjustments. If you are lucky enough to have an Asian Grocery, you will find these ingredients to be very inexpensive and usually on hand. If all else fails, you can find these ingredients online.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield Ten to fifteen skewers (2 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (16 g) red curry paste, plus more if desired
2 cups (490 ml) coconut milk
2 tablespoons (30 g) chunky peanut butter, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fish sauce
2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar, plus more if desired
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut milk
1 tablespoon (15 g) curry powder
1 tablespoon (15 g) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (8 g) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more if desired
2 pounds (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
Ten to fifteen 6-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight
Vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Make the Peanut Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and thick, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over. Add the peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and come together, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute more; remove from the heat. An oily film will rise to top; skim it off, if you wish. Keep the sauce warm while you make the chicken satay. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Make the Chicken Satay: Place the coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain into 2-inch square tiles about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the marinade and massage to coat the chicken evenly. You can cover and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor and tenderness or cook it immediately.
  • Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, stopping 2 inches from the bottom of each skewer.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to high and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the grill grates or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, grill the chicken on one side until you get nice char marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

SATAY PEANUT SAUCE/NAAM JIM SATAY

If you have the homemade red curry paste on hand, this sauce comes together pretty fast and will last five days, sealed tightly and refrigerated.

Categories     HarperCollins     Peanut     Chile Pepper     Sauce     Condiment     Condiment/Spread     Coconut

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 quart (820 grams) canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups (336 grams) skinless peanuts
1/8 cup (18 grams) red curry paste
1 3/4 cups (455 grams) unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon (11 grams) kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup (120 grams) water
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a wok or heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil registers 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer, carefully lower in the peanuts and fry until they turn a rich caramel brown. Remove with a strainer and transfer to paper towels to drain and cool.
  • Transfer the cooled peanuts to a mortar and lightly crush them with a pestle to a coarse texture; set aside. Combine the red curry paste and 1/4 cup (65 grams) of the coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates and the mixture becomes fragrant-be careful not to let it scorch. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups (325 grams) coconut milk, the measured salt, water, brown sugar, and crushed peanuts. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the mixture stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cool and allow the peanuts to hydrate.
  • Transfer to a blender and puree until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt as needed.

Tips:

  • To make the peanut sauce, start by roasting the peanuts in a pan over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown. This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Once the peanuts are roasted, let them cool slightly before grinding them in a food processor or blender. This will help to create a smooth and creamy sauce.
  • When making the curry paste, be sure to use a mortar and pestle to grind the ingredients together. This will help to release their flavors and create a more authentic paste.
  • If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can also use a food processor or blender to grind the curry paste ingredients together. However, be sure to pulse the ingredients rather than blending them continuously, as this can cause the paste to become too smooth.
  • When cooking the satay, be sure to grill or pan-fry them over high heat. This will help to create a slightly charred exterior and a tender and juicy interior.
  • Serve the satay with the peanut sauce, cucumber salad, and other desired condiments. This will create a delicious and authentic Thai meal.

Conclusion:

These satay peanut sauce and curry paste recipes are a great way to bring the flavors of Thailand into your kitchen. The sauce is creamy, nutty, and slightly spicy, while the curry paste is aromatic and flavorful. Both recipes are easy to make and can be used to create a variety of delicious dishes. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting meal, give these recipes a try.
