Ingredients
-
1 large red onion, chopped
-
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
-
3 stalks lemon grass, chopped
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon peanut oil
-
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
-
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground ginger
-
salt and black pepper to taste
-
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
-
12 wooden or bamboo skewers
Directions
-
In a large nonreactive bowl, stir together the onion, garlic, lemon grass, soy sauce, peanut oil, turmeric, brown sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of marinade in a small bowl, and refrigerate until cooking time. Mix the chicken breasts into the remaining marinade, stir to coat well, and marinate in refrigerator overnight.
-
About 30 minutes before serving, soak the skewers in water. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
-
Remove the chicken breasts from the bowl, and discard the used marinade. Cut each chicken breast on the diagonal into 6 long strips, and thread a chicken strip onto one of the soaked skewers. Grill the skewers, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through with brown, crispy edges, 5 to 8 minutes per skewer.
Cook’s Note
For beef, slice meat into thin slices and tenderize with a fork. Trim away any fat and gristle. Marinate, slice, and thread onto skewers as for chicken.
Make extra marinade, reduce in a saucepan over high heat for about 5 minutes, and strain to make a dipping sauce for the satay.
