SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST 1963 - AUTHENTIC CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS



South China Morning Post 1963 - Authentic Chicken Satay Skewers image

I discovered this yellowing paper cutting in my Mum's recipe scrapbook recently - this recipe is the one we always used to use when I was younger. The recipe was posted in the South China Morning Post in 1963 - by a chef from The Repulse Bay Hotel - that lovely old Colonial hotel is sadly no longer there......they used to have this great satay on the menu, as well as the MOST amazing Club Sandwiches! Absolutely authentic and I have decided to share it with you all!! If some of the language is a bit archaic - it is because I have decided to post it, as it was written in the paper at the time!

CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT SAUCE



Chicken Satay Skewers With Cucumber Yogurt Sauce image

This is great with Peanut Noodle Salad. It's refreshing and a nice change of pace from your average grilled chicken. If you don't have bamboo skewers, don't worry... I don't use them half the time either. Just grill chicken and enjoy.

Provided by Evelyn Liu

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup coconut milk
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
10 g ginger, peeled
2 fresh Serrano chilies, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime, juiced
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
⅓ cup peanuts, chopped
½ cup coconut milk
Bamboo or wooden skewer

Steps:

  • In a food processor, blend the peanut butter, coconut milk, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilies, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, soy sauce, and lime juice into a smooth paste; this should make about 2 cups. Reserve half of the marinade and pour the other half over the chicken thighs. Mix and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Skewer the marinated chicken onto bamboo skewers, then arrange the skewers so their ends rest on the edges of the baking tray, allowing the chicken to be suspended. Bake the chicken skewers for 15-20 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges and cooked through.
  • With no oil in the pan, toast the chopped peanuts on low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the peanuts turn golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Add in the reserved marinade and the coconut milk. Stir and cook until thick and very aromatic, 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken skewers with the sauce on the side.
  • Enjoy!
