Satay – skewers with peanut sauce, Thai style

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 tbsp curry paste, red
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp palm sugar
• 150 g peanut butter (peanut paste)
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp oil (peanut oil)
• 600 g turkey breast
• 5 tbsp sauce (Teryaki sauce)
• ½ tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 cm ginger, approx. 1 cm, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp oil (sesame oil)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 30 minutes

Preparation of the peanut sauce: Heat the peanut oil in a pot and sauté the curry paste until fragrant. This goes quite quickly. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and palm sugar and simmer for about 2 minutes. Stir in the peanut paste and simmer for another 3 minutes. Then season with the lime juice. Marinade for the satay skewers: Mix the teriyaki sauce, curry powder, turmeric, and finely chopped ginger. Cut the turkey into approximately 12 cm long strips and marinate for about 1-2 hours – even better overnight – (this works best in a freezer bag). Skewer the meat and fry in a pan with heated sesame oil or on the grill. Immediately arrange on plates with the peanut sauce and serve. Fragrant rice goes best with it. Tip: It’s best to get all the ingredients from an Asian store; this will make it taste more authentic.
