Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Vegetarian chicken strips
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 100 g Crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tsp Red curry paste
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp Chopped roasted peanuts
- 10 Satay skewers
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground cumin, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the strips are marinating, soak the satay skewers in water to prevent them from burning during cooking.
For the peanut sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste, and Sriracha sauce.
Stir the sauce continuously until it thickens and becomes smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated vegetarian chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they have a nice char and are heated through.
Serve the grilled skewers with a generous drizzle of peanut sauce, garnished with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts.
Enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce as an appetizer or main course!
