Classic Thai Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce
Classic Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce is a popular and authentic Thai dish. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of brown sugar, five spice powder, cumin, garlic, turmeric, coconut milk, fish sauce, and curry powder. Then, the chicken is grilled and served with a delicious peanut sauce.
To make the peanut sauce, simply mix together coconut milk, water, peanut butter, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan over low heat. Cook until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
To make the cucumber salad, combine sliced cucumber, minced garlic cloves, thinly sliced shallots, thinly sliced red onion, fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, and chopped Thai chili in a bowl. Mix well and let marinate for at least one hour before serving.
To serve:
Grill the chicken skewers over high heat for 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers immediately with the peanut sauce and cucumber salad.
