POH'S CHICKEN OR BEEF SATAY WITH HOMEMADE PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To make peanut sauce, blend rempah ingredients until you achieve a fine paste. Set aside. Pour rempah into a heavy bottom saucepan or wok and bring to a medium heat. Stir continuously to make sure the bottom isn't catching and cook until there is very little steam rising from the sauce. At this stage, the oil will have split from the spice paste, caramelising into a lovely dark red and developing a beautiful fragrance. Add water and bring to boil. Add tamarind, lime, sugar and only 1 tsp of salt and half the crushed peanuts. Bring to boil again, remove from heat and set aside until required. Add the remaining nuts and give sauce a stir just before for a nice bit of crunch. At the very end, TASTE. If you feel something is lacking, the sauce just needs some balancing with more seasoning or a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside. Cutting the meat for a satay is very difficult to describe because it's not a straight slice or dice. What you want to achieve is something like an elongated triangle that is cut against the grain, no more than 2 cm wide at its widest, 1 cm thick and 3-4 cm long, irregular in shape but similar in size. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate in a large mixing bowl. To start the marinade, blend all marinade ingredients to a fine paste. Tip all the meat and marinade into a snaplock bag. Massage meat through bag, ensuring to coat every piece of meat with the marinade, push all the air out and seal. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Following the length of each piece of meat, pierce evenly through the centre making sure each piece is sitting flatly. Thread about 3-4 pieces onto each skewer. The end appearance of each skewer will be a thin thread of meat which basically has 2 flat sides, making the satay easy to turn and cook. Grill over coals or on a bbq until meat is slightly charred and cooked through. To make pressed rice, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Boil for 10 minutes then cover and simmer on medium heat for another 10 minutes. Turn heat off and allow rice to rest for another 15 minutes. Spread rice evenly into a foil-lined, 20 x 20 cm square baking tin, cover with foil and then press with an oven mitt over your hand, to compress the rice evenly. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before cutting into 2 cm cubes. To serve, divide peanut sauce into individual bowls and place satays, pineapple, onion, cucumber and cubed rice at the centre of the table to share.

• When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to high heat (450° to 550°) and soak some wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes so they do not catch on fire while grilling.
• Next, skewer the chicken leaving about 3" at the bottom of the skewer to make it easy to hold and eat. I got 12 8" skewers.
• Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned and cooked throughout.
• Optionally garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with peanut sauce.

BEEF, PORK, OR CHICKEN SATAY

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well (if working ahead, leave out the peanuts until ready to use). Seal and refrigerate. The marinade will keep for a couple of days.
• Prepare the meat: Slice the meat across the grain as thinly as you can (a scant 1/8 inch is ideal). Transfer to a large zip-top bag (only one type of meat per bag) and add the marinade. Seal the bag and toss it back and forth to coat the meat well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or, for best results, 8 hours. Light a medium-hot grill fire. While waiting for the grill to heat, remove the meat from the refrigerator. Thread a few slices of meat onto each skewer, bunching up the slices (see below), to cover about 5 inches of the skewer.
• Grill the skewers: Generously spray the meat with vegetable oil and put the skewers on the medium-hot grill, arranging several skewers close to one another. Flip and turn frequently until the surface is slightly charred and the meat feels firm when pressed with tongs. Grill as follows (times are approximate): pork ( charcoal, 3 minutes; gas, 7 minutes); medium-rare beef ( charcoal, 3 minutes; gas, 6 minutes); chicken breast( charcoal, 2 minutes; gas, 4 minutes); chicken thighs( charcoal, 4 minutes; gas, 5 minutes). Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
