Instructions
Marination
- Using a food processor blend shallots, garlic, cilantro, ginger, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 cup coconut milk to a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a large bowl add chicken strips, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric, curry powder, soy sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, monk fruit, 1/2 cup coconut milk, salt and the paste that was set aside in previous step.
- Mix well until chicken is well coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Grilling/Cooking Instructions
- Put grill/stove on medium heat.
- Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken into each skewer
- Grill/cook chicken satay sticks for 5-7 minutes on each side until chicken thoroughly cooked and slightly charred. Turn frequently and brush leftover marinade sauce over the meat during cooking.
Notes
- Serve hot with peanut sauce and cucumber
- I have used the stove top grill, if you don’t have one you can use the broiler in your oven. Just move the top oven rack to about 6 inches from broiler. Pre-heat the broiler in the oven on high for 5 minutes.
- If not using skewers, place chicken on a foil lined pan. Broil chicken for 5-6 mins then flip and broil other side for 5-6 mins, or until slightly charred.
- You can use your choice of meat or tofu.
- Soak the bamboo sticks in the water for 30 minutes to prevent smoking or catching fire.
