Instructions

1

Add all of the ingredients except the oil to a blender and blitz with small bursts until a wet mixture forms.

2

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan or wok and fry the paste until the mixture becomes thick and dries slightly, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

For the satay, place the chicken or beef in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours.

4

Thread strips of chicken and beef onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Heat a griddle pan over high heat and grill for 4 – 5 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.

5

Serve the satay with the peanut sauce, extra fresh chillies and thinly sliced spring onions.
