Chicken with satay sauce

Apologies for the time between posts, things have been quite busy on this end. But it also gave me time to think of more recipes to upload!

I had a little bit of satay sauce left in my fridge, so I took advantage. Satay is used a lot in grilled skewered meats, and very popular in Indonesia. I don’t have the brand of satay that I used, but any satay paste/sauce that you find in the supermarket should be sufficient.

It’s very tasty with a little bit of spice and saltiness. For those who are unfamiliar, satay sauce can be a little “grainy”. This recipe does not take long, with about 15 minutes of preparation, and at most 10 minutes of cooking time.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of satay paste/sauce
  • 350 g of chicken, cut into small bite-sized pieces (white, dark, choice is yours)
  • vegetables of your choice. I used zucchinis and red bell peppers. Also works with carrots and onions.
  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon of chicken broth powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cooking (rice) wine
  • 3 teaspoons of corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Preparation

  • Marinade the chicken with the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the chicken broth powder, cooking (rice) wine, and 1 teaspoon of the corn starch
  • Place the remaining corn starch (2 teaspoons) in a small sauce bowl, and mix with 2 teaspoons of water. Set aside for later use, as we will be adding this mixture near the end to thicken the sauce.
Directions

  1. In a preheated wok (or pan), heat the cooking oil, then add the chicken. Once it is cooked, remove and set aside.
  2. Re-heat the wok (or pan), and add more cooking oil. Put in your vegetables, and add the satay paste/sauce as well. Saute for 30 seconds.
  3. Next, add 1/2 cup of water, the rest of the chicken broth powder (1 teaspoon), sugar, and a pinch of salt to taste.
  4. Place the chicken back into the wok (or pan), and saute. Once the sauce has come to a boil, add in the corn starch mixture that was prepared earlier on to thicken the sauce. Enjoy!
